Creating more impact with social capital by realizing future plans in a sustainable and financially responsible manner—that’s what we do in a nutshell. We view financially sound policies as the cornerstone of every organization. It provides direction, resilience, connection, flexibility, and efficiency in internal processes. We do this for three key sectors in our society: institutional investors, housing corporations, and healthcare institutions.

We support organizations in ensuring financial continuity, allowing them to maximize their social impact. It’s a different way of thinking, and this is reflected in our collaboration. Money is not the most important thing—impact is.

What are our sustainable initiatives?

Finance Ideas offers different services for housing associations, healthcare institutions and institutional investors helping them with their sustainability goals. We advise housing associations and healthcare institutions on the climate risk of their real estate portfolio. We use data to estimate the risk of heat stress, flooding, and wildfires for every building in their portfolio. This way institutions can take suitable measures to reduce climate risk. Another service that we offer is helping institutional investors with implementing ESG in their investment portfolio. Another sustainability initiative of Finance Ideas is the Global Real Estate Engagement Network (GREEN). GREEN is a not for profit engagement network of global institutional investors in the real estate industry. The network aims to ensure that the industry reaches the Paris goals on climate change. Through the power of coalition the institutional investors aim to steer real estate companies to improve their sustainability performance, and reduce their exposure to financial and non-financial climate risk.
