What we do
Redefining value & success in business and the economy.
The Impact Economy Foundation realizes an Impact Economy in which work, innovation and entrepreneurship resolve our societal challenges and contribute to the common good. It’s an economy in which every enterprise is an impact enterprise. Together we raise the bar on impact in the board room, implement impact instruments and advocate for transformative impact economic incentives.
We accelerate the transition towards the Impact Economy through three pillars:
Thought Leadership
Being a thought leader on the instruments for impact accounting & management
Movement Building
