our programmes
introduction
What we do
Our three main programmes focus on raising awareness, building the ecosystem in emerging markets and mobilising more private capital to impact investment.
With our 10% Target Program, we encourage Dutch pension funds, asset managers, insurance companies, and banks to allocate at least 10% of their AuM to impact investments by 2025, with a specific 4% allocation to emerging markets by 2030.
With our program 'ecosystem building in emerging markets’, we aim to strengthen the infrastructure, policy environment, and stakeholder collaboration necessary for a thriving impact investment market in emerging markets.
With our awareness building programme, we aim to increase the knowledge and understanding of impact investing amongst our stakeholders.
programmes
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are essential to achieving our objectives, requiring over $4 trillion in annual financing. This ambitious target is unattainable without mobilizing private capital.

ecosystem building in emerging markets
Investing in emerging markets not only accelerates global progress toward the SDGs, but also contributes to global economic, social, and environmental stability. These regions are home to the majority of the world’s impoverished population, yet they also boast rapidly growing populations and expanding middle classes, offering significant potential for economic development.
public awareness campaign
One of the elements of pressure for the financial sector to move more capital towards impact is also the engagement of their constituency: clients of banks and insurers, employees, beneficiaries of pension funds. Raising the awareness of the public on the potential of – and need for – impact investing will help to create a force for good.
