Where every investment decision supports a more just, regenerative, and resilient world
Our vision is a financial system where impact is valued as rigorously as profit
The Impact Valuation Hub was set up to bridge gaps in knowledge, training, data and tools that hinder the widespread adoption of impact valuation at the fund level. It was established to meet the needs of investors seeking practical, credible ways to understand and value impact. Impact measurement can be complex and inconsistent, but it’s essential. The IV hub is here to help by supporting investors to strengthen how impact is measured, valued and integrated into decision-making. In doing so, we help shift capital toward outcomes that matter to people and the planet.
Our goals
Advance integration of impact valuation
Drive the widespread adoption of impact valuation, developing and harmonizing approaches that work across the investment ecosystem.
Develop practical, scalable resources
Create tools, training, and resources that provide practical support and help professionalise the implementation of impact valuation by investors.
Facilitate collective knowledge sharing
Facilitate collaboration among investors, experts, and partners to share best practices and advance the collective understanding of impact valuation.
Who we are
The IV hub was founded in 2024 when Astanor, Summa Equity and Wire Group came together to coordinate their fund-level approaches to impact valuation. They approached Social Value International to host the hub, giving investors a space to share experiences and develop practical solutions to challenges in valuing impacts.
As a coalition, the IV hub draws on existing frameworks led by industry experts, Capitals Coalition, Social Value International and International Foundation for Valuing Impacts (IFVI). It is also supported by knowledge partners, including the Impact Institute and Valuing Impact, who bring deep expertise in translating guidance into actionable steps for investors.
