This week, the European Venture Philanthropy Association (EVPA) releases the report Social Impact Strategies for Banks—Venture Philanthropy and Social Investment. The report, written with the support of the London Business School, provides the first comprehensive guide as to how European banks are currently active in venture philanthropy, social investment and impact investment.

The report addresses the current and potential role of banks within the social investment marketplace; how banks are currently engaging with VP and SI; what the drivers, challenges, and benefits are for engaging as well as practical strategies for getting more involved.

The report builds on existing research on related topics, provides insightful and in-depth case studies from a selected group of pioneers in a variety of European countries (Bank Degroof, Belgium; Banque de Luxembourg, Luxembourg; Deutsche Bank, UK; BBVA, Spain; BNP Paribas Wealth Management, France; JP Morgan Social Finance, UK; Erste Bank/Foundation, Austria; Triodos Bank, Holland; UBS Wealth Management, Switzerland), and extends the analysis to other European banks with relevant initiatives.
