Dutch financial sector is playing an important role in driving impact investments, with banks increasing their focus on social impact and sustainability, and most prominently, the pension sector in adopting the SDGs and adding the potential of significantly increasing the size of this sector. Many financial and non-financial institutions are increasing their role through specific activities such as the IKEA Social Entrepreneurship Initiative, Philips Foundation and Achmea Foundation.
