Join us for the launch of UNEP FI’s updated Sector Impact Matrix. Based on international frameworks and standards, the Matrix is an open-sourced resource that charts the sector impacts and seeks to foster a common language among private sector practitioners, sustainability initiatives and standards, policymakers and regulators for achieving common societal goals.

Building on the discussion in Part 1 of Living in a Material World presented in the lead up to the UNEP FI Global Roundtable, this session will include a live demonstration of the Matrix.

The Matrix supports organizations’ strategic and operational decision-making processes such as:

  • Materiality assessments (for the definition of strategic priorities and for reporting purposes);
  • Client screening & due diligence;
  • Client engagement & issuance of sustainability-focused products and services;
  • Determination of impact investing objectives and portfolio selection.

Presenters will include impact management experts from various private sector organizations who were involved in the development of the matrix.
