Understanding Impact Performance: Climate Change Mitigation Investments

This study explores both typical impact performance across a sample of investments and the various strategies investors deploy to influence that impact. It also deepens the analytic approach to deriving rigorous, meaningful impact performance comparisons. Throughout the process, as the Research Team of the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) engaged with study participants and experts, several key learnings emerged on: impact data availability, impact over time, investor contribution, and impact comparability. These insights may inform the industry’s development of decision-making tools that will enable investors to apply comparable impact information to the investment process
