Impact investors will increasingly be required to have their impact verified by a third party, according to Abrielle Rosenthal, chief sustainability officer and managing director at TowerBrook. In 2021 TowerBrook launched an impact platform to run alongside its existing private equity strategy.

“Impact verification will become of increasing importance in the industry as impact matures as an asset class,” Rosenthal said in a video interview on the sidelines of the Impact Investor Global Summit. “Right now it is very much a ‘nice-to-have’, and we believe it will become an expectation over time, driven by market participants including limited partners.”
