Value proposition

UK’s Leading, Independent Impact Advisory Firm

As the UK’s leading, independent social impact advisory firm, we partner with organisations looking to define, measure, evaluate, report and verify impact investments that make a positive contribution to sustainable development.

With deep experience in economic development around the world, we have seen first hand that a new approach to addressing social and spatial inequalities is required. Our research shows that by adopting a place-based impact investment (PBII) approach real change can be achieved. We share this knowledge with clients and partners in order to build out the three pillars of a Good Economy - Ecological Sustainability, Essentials for Everyday Living and Economic Dynamism.
