Qui nous sommes · un réseau pour l'impact
Impact Finance Belgium (IFB) est le lieu où se rencontrent tous les acteurs financiers, des pionniers de la finance d'impact aux grandes institutions. Nous représentons un réseau de 65 membres, couvrant environ 75% du secteur financier belge, et nous poursuivons un changement structurel du système financier : un système dans lequel l'impact, au même titre que le risque et le rendement, constitue un critère intégral et à part entière dans chaque décision financière.
Aujourd'hui, les membres d'IFB représentent 14% de l'ensemble des actifs sous gestion en Belgique déployés pour un impact positif, soit environ 113 à 138 milliards d'euros. D'ici 2030, notre objectif est de porter cette part à 30% de tous les actifs sous gestion en Belgique.

Convictions · la finance, une force pour le bien
La finance peut et doit être utile aux personnes et à la planète.
Les financiers doivent prendre leurs responsabilités, aux côtés des entreprises, des organisations à finalité sociale, des citoyens et des pouvoirs publics.
Relever les défis sociétaux de notre époque exige un large éventail d'investisseurs, de pourvoyeurs de capitaux et de financeurs : des philanthropes engagés aux investisseurs à impact, et des acteurs privés aux acteurs publics.
La finance d'impact doit aller au-delà des intentions. Générer et démontrer un impact social et environnemental positif et mesurable est essentiel.
