Our Theory of Change

Our Vision is for investors to use their influence within the global economy to fulfil their human rights responsibilities under the UNGPs, embedding respect for fundamental rights in corporate conduct to improve people’s lives, uphold communities, and sustain the planet. To achieve this Vision the Investor Alliance anchors its work in our Theory of Change.

We work closely with civil society organizations to ensure that collective corporate engagement and policy advocacy activities integrate the perspectives of impacted people and communities and promote enabling environments for responsible business conduct.

Our Theory of Change articulates why the Investor Alliance is needed, what changes are necessary, and how those changes are expected to occur. 

For a detailed explanation and view of the cross-interactions of our activities and the near-term and longer-term outcomes that we strive to achieve in order to ultimately attain the intended impact, please have a look at Our Theory of Change flow chart.
