2020年影響力投資全球指導小組影響力峰會：面向G7和G20領導人、財政部長和央行行長的《關於公正和永續未來的領導人宣言》

Covid-19危機迫切需要公正，以影響為導向的復甦，為所有人服務並保護我們的星球。它迫使我們改變我們的方式，以便我們能夠更好地應對我們面前的巨大社會和環境挑戰。為了使數十億人免於遭受更大的苦難，我們迫切需要對我們經濟的核心產生影響，並將以下方面付諸行動：

1. 擴大影響力投資，以應對失業、減少不平等、保護環境

引入激勵措施以加速影響力投資，尋求社會和財務回報，以創造可持續的就業機會，促進教育，改善醫療保健，併為支援最弱勢群體的非營利組織的擴張提供資金。
刺激對發達國家和發展中國家的中小型影響力驅動型企業和高增長影響力企業的投資，以創造數百萬個新的就業機會。由於許多大公司正在簡化運營並消除就業機會，因此影響力增長企業和中小企業為創造新就業機會和支持復甦提供了最佳途徑。

2. 要求公司實現影響力透明度

通過強制要求公司發佈反映其社會和環境影響的經審計的財務帳目，建立影響透明度。這將為ESG投資者和消費者提供他們所需的透明度，使企業對其造成的傷害負責，並獎勵他們創造的積極影響。

3. 引入立法，使公司和投資者能夠追求影響力

將我們的經濟從單純的利潤轉向利潤和影響。修訂立法和法規，允許公司、養老基金和慈善捐贈基金根據回報和影響做出決定。

我們正處在一個歷史性的十字路口。我們的未來掌握在我們手中。從來沒有比現在更需要或更需要更長時間地改變我們的經濟，以便它們更好地為社會服務並保護我們的星球。我們呼籲所有人——政府、公民、消費者、投資者、公司和慈善家——支持這些措施的實施，為建立一個更公平、更永續的世界鋪平道路。

Global Steering Group for Impact Investment 2020 Impact Summit: Leaders’ Declaration for a just and sustainable future, addressed to G7 and G20 Leaders, Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors

The Covid-19 Crisis has created an urgent need for a just, impact-led recovery that serves all people and preserves our planet. It presses us to change our ways, so that we can better address the great social and environmental challenges ahead of us. To save billions of people from greater hardship, it is urgent that we bring impact to the heart of our economies and put the following into action:

1. Scale impact investment to combat unemployment, reduce inequality and preserve the environment

Introduce incentives to accelerate impact investment, which seeks social as well as financial returns in order to create sustainable jobs, advance education, improve healthcare, and fund the expansion of non-profit organizations that support the most vulnerable.
Spur investment into small and medium-sized impact-driven businesses and high-growth impact ventures in developed and developing countries, to create millions of new jobs. Since many large companies are streamlining their operations and eliminating jobs, impact growth ventures and SMEs provide the best route to creating new jobs and supporting the recovery.

2. Mandate impact transparency for companies

Establish impact transparency by mandating that companies publish audited financial accounts that reflect their social and environmental impacts. This will provide ESG investors and consumers with the transparency they need to hold businesses accountable for the harm they cause and reward them for the positive impact they create.

3. Introduce legislation to empower companies and investors to pursue impact

Shift our economies away from profit alone to profit and impact. Amend legislation and regulations to allow companies, pension funds and charitable endowments to base their decisions on return and impact.

We are at an historic crossroad. Our future is in our hands. There has never been a greater need or a greater time to transform our economies so they better serve society and preserve our planet. We call on everyone – governments, citizens, consumers, investors, companies and philanthropists – to support implementation of these measures and pave the way to a fairer and more sustainable world.
