Guided by our core principle that 'Culture Leads Change'—with a particular focus on the climate agenda—we published a manifesto in 2023. In 2024, we launched a new funding framework and an ecosystem for collaboration. We are also actively engaging with cross-sector partners to foster evidence-based investment opportunities and drive local impact through thoughtful policy initiatives.

ESG/CSRD for Cities Launch 2024

The evidence-based investment & local policy initiative

Over the past two years we have developed with Berlin and, in particular, with the City of Amsterdam a new CSRD & ESG strategy for cities. The outcome of our research is an evidence-based collaboration methodology creating more impact for cities and more value for funders – while delivering more opportunities for social and civic initiatives.

§ Our goal is to create a network of stakeholder keen to de-risk ESG investments while offering cities new capabilities around data, governance and ESG capacity tools to collaborate more efficient.

§ This ‘S of ESG’ focused framework is based on new analysis of data, new technologies (DAO) and insights from our dedicated crosssector stakeholders from academia, finance, governance, ESG regulated companies and social projects sharing their operational, real-life stories enabling us to launch our pilot programme in 2024.

The ESG Innovation Collective is further engaging with cross-sector partners to create evidence-based investment and policy opportunities. Hereby we function as a facilitator and match maker between local stories and initiatives, supported by AI based data analytics – creating impact stories we can share, evaluate and be proud of.”
