Areas of expertise

Sustainable economic development and
impact investments

Sustainable economic development and impact investments

At STORI, one of our main focus areas is the intersection between economic activity and sustainability. Whether working with companies, investors or public actors, we concentrate on developing the positive impacts that economic activity has on people and the environment.

This work includes:

Moving from traditional to innovative finance solutions that promote sustainability, by engaging in impact investing, blended finance, green and social bonds, new securitization and insurance solutions. We constantly assess the potential contributions that financial innovations, such as DeFi and other tech-for-good initiatives, make to sustainable development.
Ensuring impactful ventures are able to find the right financing to support their development, gain access to new markets, and improve their governance structures.
Expanding the range of investments beyond strictly-commercial ventures, by promoting cooperation between governments, purpose-driven enterprises, impact-minded investors, and development agencies.
