Total of over EUR 4.5 billion invested in social and environmental development
More than 70,000 new small business loans financed in 2019; green investments save 870,000 tons of CO2 annually
Finance in Motion has released its annual Impact Investment Report today. ?Road to Impact? presents the impact asset manager?s strategic framework for achieving social, environmental, and financial returns, illustrated by specific achievements of 2019. The publication also offers a look back at the company?s development over the decade since Finance in Motion was established in 2009, including through a specially released video interview with Managing Directors Elvira Lefting and Florian Meister.
By the end of December 2019, Finance in Motion was advising funds with EUR 2.5 billion in assets, having unleashed a record total of over EUR 4.5 billion for sustainable development in more than 30 low to middle-income countries across five regions since the launch of the first fund. In 2019, these funds had, for example, facilitated over 70,000 new loans to small businesses and households and were helping prevent the emission of more than 870,000 tons of CO2 every year. Finance in Motion also launched the 1,000th technical assistance project to supplement these investment activities and enhance their impact.
Managing Director Elvira Lefting said: ?This publication comes at a time when the world urgently needs targeted capital to tackle global challenges. Low and middle-income countries are being especially hard hit by the economic ramifications of the coronavirus outbreak. Impact investors play an important role in unleashing funds to address the needs of these communities. Therefore, the usual sense of celebration surrounding the release of our annual Impact Investment Report is, for us, rather replaced by our determination to double down on our mission: to harness the power of finance to make a positive difference for people and planet.?
