Impact Reporting - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly


In our first episode of the new series, we turn our focus to impact reporting. A growing number of investors are now seeking to report the environmental impact of their portfolios, meanwhile asset owners and LPs are pressing the need for consistency and transparency to mitigate the risk of greenwashing.

To explore the practical approaches investors can take to ensure consistency and transparency and role of standards and regulation, we’re joined by Diane Mak from Allianz Global Investors, Jake Levy from Snowball IM, and Circularity Capital co-founder Ian Nolan.

Highlights:

  • What we really mean by ‘impact reporting’ and how this differs from traditional reporting for a private markets fund

  • Why robust impact reporting is so important from an LP perspective

  • Circularity’s approach to impact measurement

  • An overview of Snowball’s impact framework

  • Analysing ESG v impact reporting from a Circularity perspective

  • Why demand for authenticity and accountability is growing

  • The challenges the industry faces when it comes to impact reporting

  • The pitfalls of getting it wrong and the opportunities to get it right
