The Launch of the Principles for Positive Impact Finance

Monday 30 January 2017 Visit source website

Developed by a group of bank and investor members of UN Environment Finance Initiative, the Principles are a set of high-level guidelines to promote the development of positive impact business and finance and thereby to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development and in particular the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).


The Principles will provide a common yet flexible framework for the business and finance community to identify and develop positive impact activities, entities and projects. The Principles will also help a broader set of public and private stakeholders identify and assess Positive Impact Business and Finance – those that contribute to sustainable development and hence the achievement of the SDGs. The partners hope the launch of the Principles will constitute the beginning of a broader involvement of the private sector in sustainable development.


Join us for this unique event, which will gather approximately 200 participants including commercial banks, investors, insurers, corporations, rating agencies, analysts, auditors and public sector representatives from central and municipal governments, multilateral and development banks, and UN bodies.
