The FinTech Impact Report: Working through the world’s to-do list #FinTechforImpact Evaluating the impact Using the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we devised a framework to assess the multi-faceted impact of FinTech in the UK across 5 impact categories: People, Planet, Place, Productivity and Peace SDGs Mapping PEOPLE As an unparalleled foundation for the study of ‘impact’ we placed the UN Sustainable Development Goals103 into five core impact categories: People, Planet, Place, Productivity and Peace. Intrinsically linked to the 17 SDGs, this framework grants us the ability to holistically PLANET assess the FinTech sector's influence. This report delves beyond superficial yr assessments, to focus not merely on a company's internal operations but also to og evaluate its broader societal and environmental contributions. We assess FinTechs’ eat business activities, the social issues they influence, and the communities they impact. Ct PLACE c For instance, when considering Place, our lens isn't restricted to the geographic pa location of operations. Instead, we gauge positive or indeed negative contributions to Im facets like digital infrastructure, affordable housing and industrial enhancements, as exemplified by SDG 11. PRODUCTIVITY Each company's business activities are mapped to the relevant 169 SDG targets. Utilising Vested Impact’s proprietary algorithm, we analysed the depth of a company's impact – based on the importance, the value and the effect of change to which the PEACE business activities contribute. This algorithm leverages over 300 million data points, including academic studies and scientific research, ensuring an evidence-based evaluation.104 60 60
