Impact investments are investments that align with the environment and society.
We seek to empower pension funds through our online member platform, from which we deliver training, afternoon teas and events, member forums, and a unique Knowledge Centre.
You will benefit from our online platform that provides a knowledge centre with an extensive bank of information and case studies. You will also be able to network with peers and become empowered to make decisions on impact investment via our member forums, training workshops and events.
"Pensions for Purpose is now an integral part of the fund management industry, providing high quality expertise and training to Funds on ESG issues. They are especially good communicators, which means they really add value in interactive sessions."
This is about balancing impact alongside risk and return factors to ensure a holistic view of investing. As we transition to a more sustainable economy the risk of doing nothing and the potential investment opportunities will only grow.
All pension fund investors have social and environmental impacts when they invest, positive or negative, intentional or unintentional.
Negative impacts could include: investing in companies with poor pay practices or that have high carbon emissions. These impacts leave companies exposed to regulatory and market risk.
Positive impacts could include: investing in companies that contribute to the green economy, that have good diversity on their board and/or produce renewable energy. These impacts create opportunities as investors and customers increasingly shift their behaviour towards more sustainable and good governance-led practices.
