Hogan Lovells Impact Financing & Investing
Hogan Lovells Impact Financing & Investing delivers best-in-market support in this
mission-critical area and help our clients and impact organizations stay ahead in this
rapidly evolving sector.
Our mission is to deliver innovative, efficient
and scalable solutions to the challenges facing
the impact economy and create strong, strategic
partnerships and collaborations to drive change,
develop the market and mobilize capital.
Financial institutions, and the products and
services they offer, have a vital role in delivering
key climate sustainability-developmental
goals and policies such as the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change, the UN
Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris
Agreement (to name a few), and it has become
increasingly evident that this not a task for the
public sector alone.
The private financial sector is central to mobilizing
capital to meet the identified significant shortfall
of available capital. It is vitally needed to finance
long-term sustainable growth and, build for a lowcarbon, climate-resilient and circular economy
by channeling funds towards well-governed
responsible and ethical enterprises.
We have a market-leading Impact Financing
& Investing group and have a long history of
collaborating with our clients on transactions that
promote good governance and a positive social
and environmental impact.
We support our clients as they navigate across a
spectrum of financial products and investments,
including blended finance and alternative
structures, social and development bonds, green/
blue finance, financial-inclusion products,
sustainability-linked loans and bonds, green
infrastructure transactions and gender lens
investing. But even when the financial product is
more traditional, we understand the importance of
bringing ESG and impact into the whole process of
structuring and marketing the product - and then
living with it through its lifecycle.
We felt we needed to help our clients stay ahead
in this rapidly evolving and increasingly regulated
space and our offering extends beyond the purely
legal.
We cover every aspect of the relationship between
the providers and the users of financial and riskmitigation products; that relationship is now
rapidly evolving in response to the global demand
for financial products that are profitable, but also
responsible and sustainable. A key part of our
service is the analysis and development of develop
innovative and efficient financial solutions
to overcome the challenges facing the impact
economy and providing scalable solutions.
Our goal is to drive change by working with our
clients to deepen knowledge, raise awareness and
collaborate among both the providers and users of
financial and risk-mitigating products.
