PYM Impact Day Belgium
Shaping a Sustainable Future

For two decades, Sir Ronald Cohen has been pioneering initiatives in driving impact investments. He has catalyzed a number of global efforts, each focused on driving private capital to serve social and environmental good. These efforts are leading the global impact investment movement towards an Impact Revolution.

Sir Ronald is President of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG), The Portland Trust, and the recently-created International Foundation for Valuing Impacts (IFVI).

Sir Ronald will be joining us via a video connection to speak about the impact revolution

Over the course of 25 years, Bernice Notenboom, polar explorer, climate journalist and filmmaker has unravelled the complex climate narrative to bring clarity to the biggest challenge mankind is facing. There are no PowerPoints or magazine articles that come even close to having a personal experience with the things we are trying to protect.

Bernice was the first woman to have skied to the North and South Poles among other expeditions. She combines her thirst for adventure with scientific research and publishes books, films and articles, all with the purpose to help you navigate your own role and responsibility in stewarding our precious earth.

Bernice will be talking about the greatest threats to our planet and during dinner she'll share her personal story.

Professor Luc Van Liedekerke is a business ethicist and has led the European Organization of Business Ethicists for many years. Among other things, he is a professor of 'Ethics & Finance' at the University of Antwerp and is involved in several SDG implementation projects.

In addition, Luc is the co-inventor of the 'minimum standard for sustainable investment' to which all financial players in Belgium must adhere. This standard ultimately affects 60-70 billion euros of investments worldwide.

Luc will be giving us an introduction to the concept of impact investing.

PYM is an independent foundation that connects and guides wealth owners to invest their capital consciously for a better world. We are a peer-to-peer community of families, philanthropists, individual investors, family offices, and foundations.
We believe in the power of money as a force for good. That is why we promote listed and non-listed impact investing. You can invest successfully in businesses, directly or through funds, that have a purpose beyond profit.

We focus on investors in the Benelux, but we welcome everyone who shares our goals to join us.
