New Frontiers | Our WorkSee what new challenges investors are addressing

Growing numbers of investors are exploring ways to integrate systems thinking into their impact management practices. Yet there are currently few real-world examples of systems mapping by impact investors.

This discussion board provides a forum for exploration of different ways to calculate an expected impact rating for prospective investments.

In 2023, Impact Frontiers is reviewing the current usage and potential paths forward for the “ABC” of impact (i.e., Act to avoid harm, Benefit stakeholders, and Contribute to solutions)

Over the last decade, investors claiming  to have positive impacts on people and the planet have been called upon to meet increasing standards of impact measurement and reporting, to avoid the perception (or the reality) of ‘impact-washing.’ As the communities of impact evaluation and investing converge, what can each learn from the other?

IImpact Frontiers is facilitating a consensus-building initiative to establish Norms for investors in private markets about the content, structure, and format of impact performance reports.

Impact Frontiers and the Predistribution Initiative invite your feedback on a discussion document and prototype set of metrics by which investors can measure and manage their positive and negative investor contributions.
