In this episode, we dive into the transformative world of impact investing with Eric Buckens, Investment Director of the ABN AMRO Sustainable Impact Fund (AASIF).

Eric shares how valuing societal impacts empowers investors to measure and report on the True Profit that AASIF generates for society. We explore AASIF’s latest impact report, which highlights its impressive Impact Return on Investment of 39%, demonstrating how societal value creation can align with financial success.

Beyond corporate responsibility, understanding and valuing societal impacts is about integrating these insights into core business strategies, leading to enhanced performance and long-term sustainability. We also discuss how impact accounting goes beyond compliance to enrich the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), equipping businesses with the tools to report more effectively and transparently.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to turn societal impact data into actionable insights that drive a more sustainable and responsible investment portfolio.
