A new ecological, fair and inclusive economy

A new ecological, fair and inclusive economy

The world needs a new ecological, fair and inclusive economy in order to defeat Covid-19 and climate crisis. This is the only way out of the structural crisis we are living.  Its main goals are: environmental sustainability and increase in decent employment.


Impact finance is the main instrument to achieve these goals. Impact finance supports both private companies and the public administration in building a sustainable and lasting business. Besides, it provides for the implementation of an ethical and environmental company policy, in which the involvement of stakeholders becomes central. In short words, impact finance creates a system based on: economy, environment and society.

     

For example, Social Impact Bonds (SIB) are excellent innovative tools. They are a remuneration given to investors who have generated an effective and positive impact socially or environmentally. They are “pay for result” or “pay for success”.
Impact finance boots an ecological transition to a better future. A future in which natural capital will be more protected. A future in which enterprises will guarantee equity and social cohesion, becoming “social enterprises”.
