The Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG) is an independent global steering group promoting sustainable development and advancing education in impact investment. The GSG was established in 2015 as the successor to, and incorporating the work of, the Social Impact Investment Taskforce established under the UK&rsquo;s presidency of the G8. The GSG&rsquo;s National Advisory Boards (NABs) currently cover 33 countries. It has established strategic partnerships with leading global organisations such as UNDP and the Impact Management Project. The GSG brings together leaders from finance, business, philanthropy and governments to drive a shift towards impact economies.&nbsp;

MC's Welcome

Nicolas Schmit is EU Commissioner for strengthening the EU's social dimension, including developing a European Action Plan for Social Economy to enhance social innovation, and leading the Commission&rsquo;s work on implementing and updating a skills agenda, focusing on filling skills shortages. Commissioner Schmit will show the priority he places on tackling re-skilling, homelessness and people not in education, employment or training. He will also speak to the importance of achieving reliable impact measurement, so that initiatives fully achieve their goals.

Opening Keynote

Greater impact transparency is critical to an economic system in which investment and business decisions are taken with complete information, optimising under a new paradigm of risk, return and impact.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
With less than eight years left to achieve the SDGs, we are encouraged by ongoing progress in the field, including the global effort of the <a title="IFRS" href="https://www.ifrs.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IFRS</a>&acute;s <a title="ISSB" href="https://www.ifrs.org/groups/international-sustainability-standards-board/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISSB</a>, the work of the SEC in the US and the mission of EFRAG in Europe.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
A panel of leading global experts will share their insights and help the audience understand how to engage most effectively in next steps towards achieving impact transparency as a norm in the world of investment.

The GSG has 1000+ members across 35+ countries, organised in National Advisory Boards that are the true driving force of the global impact movement. How are these groups pushing forward concrete impact solutions?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Through a series of short discussions, we will hear from the GSG NABs in Colombia, Australia and Ghana as they work to tailor and drive initiatives to their local contexts.&nbsp;

Driving Impact from Around the World: Voices from the GSG National Advisory Boards

As it becomes clear that governments alone are not able to cope with growing needs in the social and environmental agendas, private capital is called to play a critical role in helping deliver solutions at scale. In this context, whilst it is encouraging to see that the impact investment market topped the US$1 trillion mark in 2021, there is still much to do to scale impact capital mobilisation with integrity, and to deliver a just transition to net zero that leaves no people and places behind.
&nbsp;
Join Dame Elizabeth Corley, Chair of the Impact Investing Institute, in an action-oriented conversation with innovators driving impact solutions to some of the most pressing challenges of our time, sending capital where it is needed the most.&nbsp;&nbsp;
