Heading for Change has announced its sixth investment into a diversity and climate-focused fund in the Nordics.

Heading for Change recently partnered with Invest for Better to scale our portfolio learnings and move a wider group of investors to action. We speak to Tuti Scott, an IFB Partner and author of Moving Money for Impact; A Guide to Gender Lens Investing, and Janine Firpo, co-founder of Invest for Better about the training they’ve designed to help more women move private capital with a climate and gender lens.

“To lean into the future a bit, we’d like to say that when we have met the climate challenge, any reverse engineering at that point would show that women were a key factor. And we’ve seen that for years at ImpactAlpha, across all of our coverage and hundreds of deals and dozens of funds.” This was how ImpactAlpha’s Founder David Bank kicked off the Agents of Impact call with Heading for Change on 15 November 2023, acknowledging the late Suzanne Biegel’s leadership in revealing material connections between the two impact themes.

The Heading for Change team is delighted to announce its first five investments: AiiM Partners, Supply Change Capital, MCE’s Mesa Fund, WaterEquity, and Just Climate.

We are deeply saddened to share that Suzanne Biegel passed away in London on September 20, 2023, after bravely navigating metastatic lung cancer for more than two years.
