Current state of impact investing in Denmark and abroad:

what is ahead in 2025 and beyond?

Impact investing is where profit meets purpose. It’s about aligning financial returns with measurable social and environmental benefits, and it continues to grow in Europe and globally, even as ESG funds see some outflows. Impact investing’s growth stems from a clear value proposition: fueling sustainable business models that shape a future economy respecting people and the planet and is currently estimated at more than USD1.5 trillion globally.

Please join us for an exciting program and speaker line-up where we delve into the current trends and opportunities, in Denmark and abroad, discuss some of the challenges facing investors, and hear about real concrete examples of impact strategies.

We are delighted to welcome the Global Impact Investors Network for the latest trends and developments within the industry, Invest for Impact Denmark who will share insights on Danish investors’ impact preferences and journey, and Pensam who will share their experiences and share some of the challenges for impact-oriented asset owners. Lastly, to make it all concrete and actionable, BlackRock and Nordea will present examples of investing for impact across different asset classes.
