Public Consultation on Proposed Definitions, Strategies, Disclosures and Templates for Investor Contribution

Impact Frontiers and The Predistribution Initiative (PDI), with the support of Omidyar Network, are jointly facilitating an industry consensus-building effort to develop resources that can support investors in measuring, managing, and reporting their positive and negative contributions to impact and systematic risk. Through this “Investor Contribution 2.0” (IC 2.0) project, we are inviting input and feedback via public consultation from February 21 through April 30, 2023, and will publish the final products as a public resource in mid-2023.

In this phase of the project, focused on private capital asset classes, we are inviting feedback on the proposed definitions and strategies for investor contribution described in the Investor Contribution Definitions & Strategies white paper, and on two related templates created to support investors:

  2. Would you be willing to pilot the templates provided (as appropriate) and provide feedback to the project team, so that we can continue to improve them as a public good for investors? What would your feedback be?
