Gain actionable insights and the tools to measure and manage your social impact!
Ramp up your journey to positive change for people and planet, with an empowering, fresh and comprehensive learning experience
Build a peer network for ongoing support and collaboration
Investors for impact – from foundations to impact funds to other impact-driven capital providers – will learn how to clarify their impact objectives and design a solid framework to measure and manage impact at different levels: on investees/grantees, on final beneficiaries/service users and on society.
