Impact Finance Lab

Our Impact Finance Lab is catalysing the finance industry's transition toward sustainability by developing robust, data-driven methods to quantify and monetise corporate impact. Grounded in the GOLDEN Sustainability Database and Business Impact Maturity Model, we aim to empower financial actors to drive systemic transformation and deliver long-term impact through advanced methodologies and strategic partnerships.

Key themes and objectives

We believe the finance sector can be a powerful force for systemic change. Our mission is to support the transition to a regenerative society by developing robust, data-driven methods to identify which corporate sustainability actions have real and measurable impact. Based on a rigorous and behaviour-based framework, our work goes beyond symbolic ESG metrics to guide investment decisions and enable financial institutions to allocate capital where it drives transformative outcomes—for business, society, and the planet. 

• Advancing Sustainable Finance: Develop and promote the integration of behavioural maturity metrics into financial decision-making. 

• Enabling Systemic Impact: Supporting financial professionals in allocating capital toward long-term value creation, measurable societal and environmental outcomes. 

• Bridging Research and Practice: Translating our research insights into actionable tools and practical solutions.
