TOKYO, Japan — SIIF Impact Capital (SIIFIC), a leader in Japanese impact investing sector, proudly announces the successful completion of its Disclosure Statement and independent verification under the Impact Principles as of April 2024. This achievement highlights SIIFIC’s commitment to transparency and accountability in the evolving field of impact investing.
On June 7, 2023, SIIF Impact Capital adopted the Impact Principles, committing to a framework designed to guide investors towards significant social and environmental impact alongside financial returns. This commitment led to a thorough independent verification by Phenix Capital Group, making SIIF Impact Capital the fifth Japanese firm to achieve this dual accomplishment, and reinforcing its leadership in the impact investing space.
The verification process involved a detailed review of our impact strategies and operational practices, focusing particularly on our SIIFIC Wellness Fund, which aims to catalyze systemic change in the wellness sector. As our first investment was made in September 2023, and with the reporting period covering only the year 2023, we acknowledge that our impact management system is in its nascent stages. We are fully committed to enhancing our practices continually and evolving our approach to impact management.
Reiri Miura, Founding Partner of SIIF Impact Capital, stated, “Achieving this verification is not just about meeting standards; it’s about setting a precedent for continuous improvement in how we manage and measure impact. Our initial compliance with the Impact Principles is just the beginning. We are driven by the vision of integrating purposeful capital to facilitate powerful change, and we will persist in refining our processes to uphold this commitment. We are proud to set a benchmark in Japan and encourage other firms to follow suit.”
This verification comes at a time when institutional investors increasingly seek investments that deliver both financial returns and tangible societal benefits. SIIFIC remains dedicated to leading this shift, providing investment solutions that benefit not just our investors but also the broader community.
