About the Session
A sustainable future in Belgium, meeting SDGs by 2030, will require many billions of euros per year. Impact Finance Belgium (IFB) suggests several ways by which Policy and Regulation can bring in the private sector as a crucial partner and co-financier, supporting the Belgian government(s) to achieve such a future.
IFB’s report puts forward four targeted policies and regulations that have the potential to unlock billions of additional private sustainable and impact capital in Belgium by democratising impact finance, stimulating large institutional investors and reviewing and re-purposing public money, without increasing government’s spending.
These four policies are:
1. Leverage private capital by repurposing State support for projects generating positive environmental and social impact.
2. Unlock retail savings to enable citizens to participate in sustainable growth in Belgium.
3. Stimulate institutional investors to direct part of their investments towards scaling societal benefits.
4. Adopt green budgeting and frameworks at federal and regional levels to facilitate the transition to a sustainable and inclusive future.
To bring these policies to life, IFB’s Senior Project Manager, Solène Collin, will showcase successful case studies from the UK and France, demonstrating how similar approaches have driven capital toward sustainability. The event will also feature a special introduction by IFB’s new CEO, Pierre Harkay.
