We help impact-focused investors avoid the integrity disasters that, at best, devalue investments and add major costs, and at worst, create scandals. While traditional integrity due diligence tells you what went wrong yesterday, we identify and address what could go wrong tomorrow.
Our tailored approach combines expert advice, technology-enabled assessments, and practical workshops, enabling clients to align investments with ethical standards and sustainability goals.
Ethics Insight’s work directly supports the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF) ambitions by empowering the financial sector to deliver impactful, responsible investment strategies that foster long-term value creation for society and the environment.
Approach
Our framework begins by assessing high-impact risks, focusing on the 20% of issues that can cause 80% of adverse outcomes, using practical tools developed with partners like Swedfund and Transparency International Sweden. We then build culture-focused controls, embedding robust governance and business integrity systems that align with stakeholder needs and foster resilient, ethical investment environments. Finally, we create value-preserving exit strategies, ensuring positive impact and strong governance endures beyond the investment lifecycle. This approach is iterative and adaptive: we define priorities, assess risks and actors, align with stakeholder expectations, and implement targeted actions, continuously measuring and refining our impact. Our work enables investors to mitigate integrity risks, enhance governance, and deliver sustainable value in challenging markets.
