Latest Developments in the IMmPACT Project
I am pleased to share significant advancements from the IMmPACT project. Recently, we published the updated "Impact Investing: Guidelines for Participatory Impact Measurement and Management" co-authored with Chiara Andreoli, Catrina Daly, Chiara Cremasco, and Dr. Jan Dauman.
This three-year research programme is dedicated to enhancing how we measure and manage social impact to support decision-making for corporates and impact investors.
The updated guidelines address power imbalances in decision-making and introduce a multi-stakeholder framework for impact measurement and management. Enriched with practical case studies from Argos Wityu , Three Hills , Mercato Metropolitano , Banca Etica , 60 Decibels , and The Good Economy , the guidelines provide actionable insights and emerging best practices in the field.
Additionally, the guidelines reference existing frameworks and resources such as Impact Weighted Accounts (Harvard Business School), Governance of Impact (Esade Business School), the Impact Term Sheet (LISI), Lean Data Approach (Acumen), and the EVPA Practical Guide to Venture Philanthropy and Social Impact Investment. These tools offer proven guidance for practitioners aiming to define and measure impact effectively.
Developed through continuous interactions with leading impact investing practitioners, the guidelines underscore the importance of collaboration across various phases of impact investments. By adopting this framework, practitioners can engage in structured participatory decision-making, ultimately creating more meaningful impacts for a broader range of stakeholders.
In other news…
Recently, I wrote an op-ed titled "How corporations and investors should adapt to rising legal risks" for the Financial Times Sustainable Views following the victory of the European Court of Human Rights ruling on Switzerland’s emissions targets. This op-ed delves deeper into the implications for businesses and the necessity for robust environmental strategies. I invite you to reflect on these developments and share your thoughts on the following questions:
I look forward to your thoughts and feedback. Together, let’s challenge our understandings and refine our perspectives on these critical issues.
Warm regards,
