About Impact Principles

The Operating Principles for Impact Management (Impact Principles) provide a framework for investors to ensure that impact considerations are integrated throughout an investment lifecycle. Launched in 2019 with 58 original Signatories, the Impact Principles were crafted in collaboration with asset owners and asset managers from around the world and across the public and private sectors. They have become the global standard for robust and transparent impact management, and there are now 184 Signatories from 40 countries managing over $529 billion in alignment with the Impact Principles. Signatories to the Impact Principles commit to publishing an annual Disclosure Statement that describes how their impact management systems and processes align with each of the 9 Principles. They are also required to provide regular independent verification of this alignment. These documents are all accessible through our website, impactprinciples.org, in addition to each Signatory’s website. Impact investments are investments made with the intention to contribute to positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. The Impact Principles represent a collective commitment to bringing greater transparency, rigor, and discipline to the impact investing market, with the aim of increasing the global mobilization of capital for impact. Launched by IFC, the Impact Principles Secretariat is now hosted by the Global Impact Investing Network.
