Impact Measurement Workshop



 

Wednesday, 9 October 2019 | London


The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have helped investors identify social and environmental issues to address as a means of achieving a more sustainable and inclusive future for all. Investors and capital allocators play a pivotal role in reaching these goals, but, in order for them to fully and most efficiently address these global challenges, a rigorous approach to impact measurement is required. Comprehensive guidelines and benchmarks are key for these stakeholders in understanding what creates significant positive impact, in tracking progress toward delivering the SDGs, and in better incorporating the tools needed to assess and measure outcomes.

EMPEA is therefore partnering with the Impact Management Project (IMP) — a forum for building global consensus on how to measure, compare, and report impact — to provide an Impact Measurement Workshop on 9 October 2019, with the generous support of CDC Group. In this interactive session the IMP’s Chief Executive, Clara Barby, will take participants through the emerging standards and best practices that have been agreed to date.

Please note that priority registration will be offered to fund managers and limited partners. If you are a service provider or another interested party and would like to attend, please register your interest by emailing EMPEA at [email protected]. Should there be space available, the EMPEA team will be in touch.
