Fundo Vale
Our Impact
Impact Management

We foster sustainable business and innovative financial arrangements, based on analysis and experience, practice, regulation in the short, medium and long term. In addition, we are committed to measuring the impact we generate by structuring an impact measurement and management system.

Our resource allocation is guided and prioritized by this system, from philanthropic actions that strengthen the ecosystem of social and environmental impact businesses, to impact investing, with expected financial returns. The Vale Fund also proposes to prototype innovative financial vehicles and solutions with the possibility of future scale, but which, in the short term, still generate financial returns below the market average, depending on the strategy and the problem in question.

We aim to keep this management in constant alignment with global references that aim to facilitate taxonomy and comparability between experiences such as the proposals formulated by the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) in its catalog of metrics listed in IRIS+, impact dimensions or classes of assets presented by the Impact Management Project (IMP), in addition to the observation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), both in the sphere of the 17 goals, as well as their specific goals

Impact Measurement and Management

GIMPACT is Fundo Vale’s model that will guide the behavior of its strategy and achievement of its results. The model is designed to lay the foundations for Fundo Vale to robustly demonstrate its effective contributions to high-level changes in the short, medium and long terms, mapping which 2025 and 2030 results are being attained to a greater or lesser extent, based on its 2030 Theory of Change.
