Impact potential evaluation grid – private debt

How to assess the impact potential of a private debt fund? The IFD is now making available the private debt version of its Impact Potential Assessment Grid, a demanding and evolving methodology for analyzing the potential contribution to the sustainable transformation of the real economy. Designed as part of the work of the Impact Place Group, this scale enables financial players to :

• Manage their impact strategy,
• Demonstrate the credibility of their impact approach,
• Transparently demonstrate the value generated for society and the environment,
• Inform investors with a clear, readable indicator.

A tool designed to accompany the market in harmonizing practices and supporting the development of ambitious impact finance. ‘This new grid dedicated to private debt completes the series of impact potential assessment tools that the IFD and its Impact Commission had planned to make available. We now invite all players in impact finance to take full advantage of it, in order to strengthen the positioning of the Paris financial center as a benchmark for impact financing and investment.’ – Léo Tomasso, IFD.
