The Rise of Impact

The UK National Advisory Board on Impact Investing released this report on the growing field of impact investing. With a focus on the UK, this report addresses the importance of achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals through increased Impact Investing as well as supporting the rise of ‘impact economies’ around the world. This report describes the benefits of an impact economy for business leaders, investors, and governments in a five step plan towards a more inclusive and sustainable economy. Though these steps are tailored to the UK specifically, they can be modified to be utilized in the context of any economy as they include things like putting impact at the focus of the public, and creating a sustainable investment agenda.
