“What is the Role of
Impact Verification
in Impact Investing?”
Thursday, May 6th:
9am PT / 10am MT / 11am CT / 12pm ET / 17h UK / 18h Europe
Most impact investors share a mutual commitment to make a positive impact alongside generating a financial return.
Investors’ lack of transparency on their impact performance is a key issue facing the market, according to The State Of Impact Measurement & Management Practice.
The Operating Principles for Impact Management are a framework for investors to design and implement their impact management systems.
- How to ensure the impact considerations integrate throughout the investment life cycle?
- What are the best practices for verifying the outcomes by engaging with stakeholders?
- What role does impact verification play in impact investing?
The conversation will be ignited by Ana Pimenta, Elsa De Morais Sarmento, and HIP’s Paul Herman, three of the 50 co-authors of the Global Handbook of Impact Investing, containing 6 in-depth and insightful chapters on impact measurement and management (Wiley 2021).

“Too often growth supporters and anti-growthers come to loggerheads, neglecting the crucial issue of what kind of economic growth we’re creating. Stoknes’s growth compass is a crucial tool to guide us towards a finer future.” — Hunter Lovins, coauthor of the book “Natural Capitalism.”
As a start, this webinar will explore:
- How do we create healthy green growth?
- Is this possible for indigenous nations in the global south?
- What are the barriers and how can we overcome them?
In this episode, we’re joined by Norwegian academic, author and politician Per Espen Stoknes to talk about his new book Tomorrow’s Economy: A Guide To Creating Healthy Green Growth. We’ll also be joined by Manari Ushigua, leader of the Sapara Nation, and Berlén Peres from the Pachamama Alliance, for a close look at whether green growth is possible for indigenous nations, including in the Amazon.
