How SBSI supports positive social impact

Impact investments must have a clear, measurable rationale for how investment is intended to contribute towards positive social change. In the social investment market this is often referred to as a “Theory of Change”, which forms the basis of the UK’s emerging criteria for Sustainable Impact Investments. SBSI’s Theory of Change sets out how capital is deployed through funds and co-investments, in partnership with fund managers, to frontline organisations with strong track records of working on critical social challenges, enabling them to grow and become more resilient, to deliver solutions for vulnerable, disadvantaged and underserved people across the UK.
