Global Community to realise the Impact Economy
Many recognize the need to reconstruct the economy in a way that can bring prosperity to all, now and in the future, by simultaneously generating material wealth, health and conserving nature. Until now, this reconstruction captured the need to transform the economy to address key long term challenges – hunger, poverty, inequality – and avert long term crises– including climate change and biodiversity loss.
We believe the answer lies in realizing an impact economy, a market economy that provides the values, information and incentives that optimize the common good and enables people to pursue their own preferences, ideas and projects to satisfy their needs and have a positive impact on society.
Realizing the impact economy requires developing the required foundations, standards and professions. Such an ambitious agenda starts with people and therefore we aim to enable the realization of an impact economy by creating a global community of impact professionals who can develop these building blocks.
Our envisioned five year agenda (2020-2025) is about achieving five key goals:
- Bring together a community of leaders from all sectors to shape the impact economy
- Design the foundations of the impact economy
- Develop concrete regulatory and policy proposals for the impact economy
- Incubate a standard for impact statements
- Incubate a global community of impact professionals

Our Initiatives
Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework
The Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework (IWAF) provides organisations with a harmonized, consistent way of measuring, reporting and steering on impact. The framework helps to quantify and monetize organisations’ impact on social, human and natural capital for all stakeholders.
This framework is the result of a partnership of the Impact Economy Foundation (IEF) with Harvard Business School, Singapore Management University, Rotterdam School of Management and Impact Institute.

2100
The 2100 Initiative is a movement of current and aspiring executives for an impact economy. The aim is to change the most important institutions, committees, supervisory boards and boards so that work, entrepreneurship, innovation and technology lead to well-being. Ultimately, the aim is that financial and economic policy concretely ensures a vital society and planet in the year 2100. Unique in this initiative is that new leaders join forces with current leaders.
