Impact Mandate
- Positive social and environmental impact
- Investment impact in different asset classes
- Clear reporting on the impact of your investments
A portfolio for which only companies who have a measurable, positive social and environmental impact are selected.
Mandate characteristics:
The Impact Mandate invests exclusively in 'impact investments'. This means that only companies with a measurable, positive social and environmental impact are selected, while their sales should contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The portfolio is therefore suitable for investors for whom the environmental and social impacts are more important than financial returns.
For its Impact Mandate, ABN AMRO uses the scores awarded to companies by ISS-oekom, based on the SDGs converted into measurable targets. Government-issued green bonds as well as other 'green' government projects are included in the mandate. Aside from equity and bonds, the mandate also invests in alternative investments, such as microloans and sustainable projects, rather than the traditional alternatives.
Investors in the Impact Mandate receive an additional quarterly report quantifying the SDG themes. This report specifies the percentage of the portfolio that contributes to combating poverty, providing access to clean energy and/or measures to combat climate change, for example.
