Money for Change - S01 / E07

Does Measuring Impact Help Banks Drive Real Change?

Welcome to Money for Change, a brand-new podcast from Triodos Bank! In this weekly podcast, we’ll be joined by Hans Stegeman, Triodos Bank’s Chief Economist along with the the Impact & Economics department to share insights and challenges related to our core question: how can we transition to a more balanced and just world?

This episode we're keeping it closer to home by diving into one of the core activities of the Impact & Economics department: measuring impact. Together with our colleague Sven Renon, we explore the different facets of impact measurement, illustrating our discussion with practical examples.

Hans kicks off the conversation by taking us through the history of Triodos' impact management over the past 44 years. We discuss the various types of impact that can be measured and how this is applied in practice in the real world. To wrap up, we emphasize the importance of moving beyond simply minimizing negative impact and instead focusing on creating a positive change in the world.

Hans concludes this final episode of the year with some uplifting news regarding the United Nations' latest designations for 2025.
