The Impact Investing Hub contributes thought leadership informed by our collaborative and community-engaged research.  Our approach is to conduct research that fosters collaboration and knowledge co-creation among academics, communities and institutions. We believe the most impactful and innovative research arises from engaging stakeholders at every stage of the process, from problem definition to dissemination of findings. By co-creating knowledge, we generate insights and solutions that are relevant, meaningful and actionable to unlocking the full potential of the financial sector to drive meaningful positive change, locally and globally.

Our mission is to align finance and investments with climate and sustainability action and accelerate the transition to a climate-positive and inclusive economy. To deliver on this objective, we pursue a holistic research agenda that addresses both the risks and the opportunities in investment and other types of finance decisions. We believe that understanding the risks faced by investors, businesses and local communities, is a key step toward shifting the allocation of capital to solutions that deliver positive outcomes for people and the planet while building a resilient financial ecosystem. We also recognize the systemic and overlapping nature of many environmental and social issues and strive to leverage multidisciplinary expertise to advance our research projects.
