Signatory Testimonials
Scaling impact with integrity
“In order to scale impact investing to the degree necessary, there must be standards that allow investors to evaluate and compare impact practices. The Impact Principles not only help to ensure today’s dollars are invested with integrity, they work to unlock more tomorrow, by building investor confidence as a trusted indicator of impact integrity.”

Jenn Pryce, President & CEO
Relevant across regions
“Values upheld by Impact Principles, such as accountability, transparency, and standardization, resonated with us and led us to embark on this journey in our early years. We believe that the growing adoption of these principles by impact investors in Asia, where the industry is still nascent, will further elevate impact investing into the mainstream in the region.”

Applicable across asset classes
“The Impact Principles represent a clear impact management framework to embed impact in every step of the investment process in a transparent and rigorous manner. For a diversified asset manager like Schroders, this has been critical in developing an impact management framework that can be applied consistently across multiple asset classes.”
