The Signal Edit – Episode 3

Between March and May this year, Capitals Coalition, in partnership with GlobeScan, gathered responses from senior decision-makers across business, government, and the third sector (including 41% C-suite).

Leaders Interview – George Serafeim, Harvard Business School Professor

Welcome to the second of the Leaders Interview series, where we dive into conversations with some of the innovators shaping the impact valuation landscape. With the new consultation on the Exposure Draft of the Waste Methodology just opened, we invited George Serafeim, Professor at Harvard Business School and Chair of the Impact Value Standards Board (IVSB). He worked with Sir Ronald Cohen on Impact Weighted Accounts, sharing the same profound belief in the importance of impact measurement and valuation, and he explores the challenges and opportunities in profitable purpose-driven organizations.

The Signal Edit – Episode 2

The HSBC convening of major UK banks brought this tension into sharp relief. As we see it, this isn’t primarily a disclosure problem — it’s a measurement and application problem.

Building Bridges

We are hosting an interactive workshop, in partnership with the Value Balancing Alliance, that explores how impact valuation can turn sustainability data into decision-useful insights for investors and businesses. Through practical examples from our work with asset managers and corporates across sectors, and role-based discussion, participants will explore how different actors (asset managers, corporates, regulators) interpret information, where decision bottlenecks arise, and how financial markets can evolve to allocate capital more effectively.
