Impact Management Project

The primary focus of our recent field-building work has been the Impact Management Project, which Bridges Insights launched in 2016 and hosted/ facilitated until its conclusion in 2022.

In its initial phase, this ground-breaking initiative brought together over 2,000 organisations from across the global value chain to agree on shared fundamentals for how we measure, manage and report on impacts on people and the natural environment. This work is now being continued by The Impact Management Platform.

From 2018, the IMP’s primary focus was coordinating the Structured Network – an unprecedented collaboration between 15 of the world’s leading standard-setters to provide comprehensive, interoperable standards and guidance for impact measurement, assessment and reporting.

A subset of the Network members went on to co-create a shared vision for corporate reporting and sustainability-related financial disclosure can be used together. Members of the IMP team then worked with the IFRS Foundation to develop the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), which was launched at COP26.

Knowledge

Proprietary research & knowledge-sharing

Over the years, we have published a number of papers on topics where we felt our experience of sustainable and impact investing could help support the growth of the broader market.

Previous examples include the Bridges Spectrum of Capital; a case study of how Skopos Impact Fund developed its impact management framework; and an analysis of the investment case for B Corporations.
