Marlene is responsible for Collective Action’s strategic direction, facilitating broader industry collaborations, facilitating investor dialogue, and the impact and results realised by the platform. Collective Action facilitates collaboration between global investors who aim to generate measurable social and environmental impact and financial returns in private markets. By investing collectively, we can achieve our return and impact objectives and significantly scale, accelerate and professionalise the impact investing ecosystem. We are the first of its kind large-scale impact investment collaboration platform between like-minded leading institutional investors. We launched Collective Action to help investors overcome the hurdles they face in realising their impact ambitions and, in doing so, catalyse institutional capital at scale into impact investing. We enable our members to make joint investments in leading thematic impact funds and companies that contribute to solving global social and environmental challenges next to delivering market-rate returns. Actionable collaboration is our critical operating principle, and thus its execution requires tailored solutions to accommodate individual investor needs. Members can leverage Collective Action for Deal-by-deal Investments, Investor-specific Mandates, or a shared Partnership Fund with a limited number of like-minded investors. Irrespective of the execution model, all members interact in a shared working environment with peers, tap into Collective Action’s impact investing expertise, and benefit from pooling to reduce implementation costs.
