Impaakt was built out of a desire to bring together sustainability enthusiasts. Traditionally, a single-expert approach has always been favored. Impaakt’s founders felt differently.
They decided to turn to you, citizens, consumers, employees - global society - as inhabitants of this planet, who feel the impact of companies daily to take the power back. The power of collective intelligence paved the way for a reimagination of sustainability, driven by stakeholders.
It all started with a focus on the financial sector. Our founders wanted to create sustainability data that measured true impact, without being hindered by greenwashing risks that are present through the single-expert, “tick-the-box” approach. This meant building and bringing together a community of certified analysts and raters to give us the ultimate approach to impact measurement.
Today, through our impact wiki we have built a community of over 55,000 members, amassing 1 million materiality assessments for over 5,00 companies. This data, used by investors and financial institutes, steers capital towards companies having the most positive impact.
We didn’t stop there. We realised that stakeholder-powered sustainability was in great demand. We wanted to push the limits further and help all kinds of stakeholders through this approach. Impaakt developed a reporting tool to guide corporates in their regulatory journey.
The Corporate Sustainability Disclosure Regulation came into force in January 2023, and we felt that we were in a solid position to offer a turnkey solution, through our expertise in materiality assessments and stakeholder engagement. Today, we are supporting numerous companies in complying with the CSRD and aligning their business strategy with the right long-term.
Finally, we cannot forget about the sustainability enthusiasts that are at the forefront of this sustainability journey: the citizens. We believe that citizens should be in the driver’s seat when it comes to sustainability, and that includes sustainable investing.
We have developed a unique tool that allows citizens to input their sustainability preferences to craft a bespoke list of companies and ETFs that align with their convictions. This tool encourages citizens to regain control of their investments and move away from letting their bankers decide what makes an investment sustainable.
