Investing for Sustainability Impact: Guidance informed by the Legal Framework for Impact

The upward trend in sustainability impact investing (IFSI) is driven by evolving investor practices, changes in policies and regulations, and a growing recognition of systemic risks and opportunities associated with issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and human rights.

That is why this guide presents a four-part framework for investors to implement IFSI, these are:

- Determine investor intent, including beliefs, financial return objectives, and how the real-world sustainability impact contributes to and results from those beliefs and financial return objectives.

- Set sustainability goals

- Take action through capital allocation, stewardship, and commitment to policies, which are best used in combination.

- Measure and report on progress.
