Policy Paper: Recognising impact investing in the EU Sustainable Finance framework
With this publication, BIII presents together with BAI a concrete proposal for how impact investing can be recognised as a distinct investment strategy within the EU Sustainable Finance framework. The paper advocates for a non-binding, principles-based guidance that supports the integration of impact investing into existing EU regulation.
Position Paper #05 Impact Investing in Infrastructure Turning Potential into Practice: What does it take to implement Impact Investing in Infrastructure?
Building on the BAI/BIII position paper from November 2024 titled “Impact Investing in Alternative Investments – Why Private Market Investments Are Particularly Suited for Impact-Generating Investments”, BAI and BIII now present a new paper specifically dedicated to the asset class infrastructure. The publication highlights the specific characteristics and challenges of this asset class – ranging from regulatory treatment to impact management and measurement (IMM).
Beyond outlining general challenges, the paper discusses intentionality, asset impact & investor impact, as well as impact management & measurement – each illustrated through concrete case studies.
Through these examples covering different “types” of infrastructure, the authors aim to make the topic more accessible to a broader audience while also offering a practical conversation guide to support dialogue between asset managers and their investors.
