About the session

Join us for an interactive session exploring Accelerating Impact and LuxFLAG‘s Social Investment Framework – a comprehensive tool developed over six months of collaborative research to support the growth of social finance through clear and structured guidelines for social impact investing.

This framework provides essential guidance for the industry by defining social impact investing, outlining its core elements, identifying eligible social activities, and establishing minimum safeguards and potential exclusions. The research paper will be made available under Creative Commons license, enabling free use and further enhancement by the broader community.

Discover the framework.

The session will feature an interactive World Café format, encouraging meaningful discussions among participants on key concepts, definitions, and practical applications of the framework in today’s social finance landscape.

This Knowledge Sharing Event offers InFiNe members an excellent opportunity to learn about innovative approaches to social finance standards while connecting with fellow professionals dedicated to advancing impact investing.
