JOIN CONVERSATIONS SHAPING THE FUTURE

Impact Summit America is a highly curated, invitation-only institutional investor and asset owner conference that annually brings together thought leaders and practitioners in the impact investing space. As a satellite conference to esteemed flagships Impact Summit Europe and Impact Summit Asia, Impact Summit America provides a trusted platform for investors from North America to catalyse institutional capital to support the most ambitious environmental & societal goals, promoting meaningful investments that go hand-in-hand with financial returns.

The programme will offer practical instruments for investors to increase their impact allocation, contributing to scaling their positive impact on people and the planet. It also provides the necessary content and tools to start investing for impact and returns.
We look forward to connecting leading North American institutional investors & asset owners for a meaningful dialogue at the 6th Impact Summit America in New York City.

This is no longer about a call to action, it is about embodying the values organisations champion and continuing the flow of capital towards solutions with even bolder ambition.  This demands a shift from performative gestures to genuine, sustained engagement. This new era requires investors who are not only visionaries but also stewards of the principles they uphold, creating environments where these values flourish and have a measurable impact on the world.

Navigating Polarization 

 

In an increasingly polarized world, political dynamics can pose significant challenges for investors seeking to uphold principles of equity and fairness. This subtheme explores strategies for navigating polarization and its implications for long-term investment decision-making. Discussions may cover geopolitical risks, regulatory uncertainties, and the impact of ideological divides on market dynamics.

Standardizing Impact Metrics

 

Definitions are set, the industry is now coming together to define norms, standards, and benchmarks for all the market players involved. Impact Summit America will share with the audience latest best practices, the role of industry collaborations in setting standards, and the high level of professionalism that has increased greatly in the recent years.

 

Addressing Social Equity 

 

Social issues such as inequality, discrimination and access to basic services profoundly impact economic opportunities and investment outcomes. The conference will explore the intersection of finance and social equity, highlighting the role of investors in addressing systemic barriers and promoting inclusive prosperity. Through case studies and panel discussions, participants will explore innovative approaches to tackling social challenges while generating positive financial returns and societal impact.

 

WITH SUPPORT OF LEADING ORGANISATIONS

We are delighted to have the leading organisations within the impact ecosystem supporting our mission and contributing to the growth of the industry with their research, knowledge and advocacy.

PRE-SCHEDULED MEETINGS

THEME 2025

Preliminary agenda 2025 will be available soon.

ISA2025_Theme_2-RGB-1

In a world marked by complexity and rapid change, resilience and adaptability aren’t optional, it’s essential. Under this year’s theme Eye on the Future we invite institutional investors and asset owners to explore how we adapt, lead, and invest with long-term purpose in mind. This new era requires investors who are not only visionaries but also stewards of the principles they uphold, creating environments where these values flourish and have a measurable impact on the world to fully serve their fiduciary duty. Some of the key themes on the agenda:

NAVIGATING POLARIZED ENVIRONMENT 

 

In an increasingly polarized world and unstable market environment can pose significant challenges for investors seeking to uphold principles of equity and fairness. This subtheme explores strategies for navigating polarization and its implications for long-term investment decision-making.

COLLABORATIVE STEWARDSHIP IN AN ERA OF COMPLEXITY

 

As the pace of global changes accelerates, traditional models of stewardship are being tested. The challenges we face are interconnected and system-wide, from climate risk and social fragmentation to technological disruption. In this context, siloed strategies and short-term metrics can no longer suffice. 

 

REDEFINING FIDUCIARY DUTY 

 

We explore how fiduciary duty is being reinterpreted in a time of transition and what does it mean to act in the "best interests" of beneficiaries in a world shaped by systemic risks? We discuss on going topics on how do legal frameworks, investor expectations, and real-world outcomes intersect.

SCENARIO ANALYSIS AS A STRATEGIC COMPASS 

 

How can forward-looking, scenario-based analysis move from a compliance tool to a strategic driver? We'll explore methodologies and how they can inform real-world decision-making across sectors.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

OUR COMMITMENT TO UN SDGs

The world is facing an abundance of environmental and societal challenges. Recent years have seen a significant momentum surrounding the need of a ‘new normal’ where financial markets are designed to positively contribute to sustainable development.

Despite this trend, significantly more private sector capital is still needed to help finance the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, which requires investments in the amount of several trillion USD each year.

Phenix Capital Group accompanies institutional investors and asset owners throughout their impact journey. We provide tools to facilitate the implementation of a successful impact investing allocation and to navigate current impact investing opportunities.
