Our Approach to Impact & Sustainability

We maintain a robust impact management system to monitor the impact of our funds’ investments and manage environmental and social risks. We are continuously refining our approach. In 2024 we formalized our social funds’ growing commitment to empowering female entrepreneurs through a dedicated Gender Strategy. And for one of our green strategies, we developed a science-based metric that allows us to compare the biodiversity impact across different crops, regions and investment criteria. Both initiatives will inform investment decisions and deepen our impact.

How We Manage Impact

Our impact management practices fully align with the following international standards and regulations:

Operating Principles for Impact Management
Multilateral Development banks’ (MDB) Joint Assessment Framework for Paris Alignment
Client Protection Principles
Fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization
International Bill of Human Rights
IFC Performance Standards
Disclosure in line with requirements stipulated by the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

Where relevant, we build on further standards, such as 2X Challenge, ICMA Principles, Climate Bond Initiative Guidelines.

Since 2022, Finance in Motion has been recognized as a 'Practice Leader' by BlueMark. In 2023, its impact management system was rated 'advanced'—the highest possible—across all eight dimensions of the Impact Principles. Read Finance in Motion’s Disclosure Statement on alignment with the Operating Principles for Impact management here.

Measuring positive impact helps us monitor progress towards our impact goals and informs our fund strategies. We monitor our impact based on key indicators, in line with our funds’ impact objective and Theory of Change.

We combine a range of internal and external data sources to track the funds’ progress toward their impact goals. Finally, our geographical proximity to investees and stakeholders leads to regular on-site visits and continuous dialogue, contributing both qualitative and quantitative impact information.

Systematic impact measurement and management is integrated in the funds’ investment lifecycle. We assess the potential impact of investees throughout the investment cycle with the Impact Scoring Tool:

During due diligence
Regular monitoring during the investment period
Assessment of final impact at exit

Our data management system enables end-to-end tracking of financing to the final client, capturing key indicators such as use of proceeds, gender, and economic sector. This data informs our funds’ impact measurement, portfolio management, and strategy.

We prioritize supporting each of our funds in effectively managing – i.e., avoiding, minimizing, and mitigating – potential environmental and social (E&S) risks and negative impacts associated with their investments. This means we maintain and continuously improve our ESG management system.

Throughout the investment process, we consider ESG risks. Screening and thorough due diligence help identify ESG risks and assess investees’ capacity and commitment to address and mitigate these. Once capital is deployed, investees’ ESG performance is regularly monitored.
