Europe Needs to Mobilise Capital for Social Investments

e-MFP and Cerise+SPTF are two of the signatories of this policy paper which urges the European Commission to build upon existing international and EU standards to develop a robust Social Investment Framework. 

The framework should prioritize products, services, and processes aimed at meeting basic human needs and ensuring human rights due diligence. To guide this effort, we recommend using the Social Bond and Social Loan Principles as a foundational reference. Additionally, we advocate for the establishment of a broad, diversified stakeholder group to address the challenges outlined in this document and to refine the criteria and metrics for social investments in greater detail
