Dear peers, colleagues, and network friends! I’ve been quiet on LinkedIn lately, and here’s the explanation: at Finnfund, we have been working intensively to take our biodiversity work to the next level. Have a look at our new Statement and get a quick view of everything else we’ve been up to in my blog. My great thanks go particularly to my Finnfund colleagues Harold A. Gordillo & Aleksi Heiskanen, our Climate, Nature, and Biodiversity Committee, and all the experts and stakeholders who contributed to the process! This is a great milestone achieved, but not the finish line – the work continues to deliver against our commitments. https://lnkd.in/gDmTymyP https://lnkd.in/g3anvijS #impactinvesting #biodiversity #naturepositive #developmentfinance
“Biodiversity loss and climate change are among the biggest crises of our time, and the effects are already visible across of the world. We firmly believe that an active investor can play a significant role in fostering biodiversity,” says Finnfund CEO Jaakko Kangasniemi. “This means both channelling funding to the right players and sharing expertise and cooperation with investees and other financiers. In this work, we want to be at the forefront now and in the future." Finnfund has adopted a new policy statement, including three specific goals, to guide our investment activities in strengthening natural values and biodiversity 💚🌱🐼 “Biodiversity has been an important theme for Finnfund for many years, but with the policy statement we aim to clarify further and strengthen this work,” says Anne Valto (prev. Arvola), Senior Development Impact Advisor at Finnfund. Interested?
