The Impact Frontiers Asia program is a 15-month consultative journey that will help asset owners and managers integrate impact into their investment practice.
The Impact Frontiers Asia program supports investors to build new capabilities to manage impact and integrate impact into their investment practices. Through confidential structured meetings, cohort members experiment with new approaches, share their tools and experiences, learn from peers, benefit from thought partnership and advance the state of impact management practice in the sector. It’s been designed for asset managers of all asset classes and for asset owners such as family offices, foundations and endowments.
Through working with the Impact Management Project as the leading forum for building global consensus on managing impact and AVPN as Asia’s largest social investing network, participating investors will develop and fine-tune investment strategies designed to achieve integrated financial, social, and environmental goals, and share what they learn for the benefit of investors across Asia and worldwide.
Join us for this info session to find out more about the Impact Frontiers Programme and how you can improve your organisation’s impact management efforts by participating.

“We found a lot of value in the cohort model. The sequence of workshops consistently challenged me to think ahead to the next step as we built our new impact management approach. And I gained an amazing set of peers to go to on anything from technical questions on impact ratings to how to build consensus with our internal team and Board”
