From the Desk of Dr. Andrea Feigl 

At HFI, we’re now taking impact investing to the next level. Let me introduce you to the Health Impact Credit.

HFI is developing a consistent way to measure health equity across investments. We’re taking existing knowledge and calculations around ESG and applying them to health equity measures. 

This represents a groundbreaking journey for health equity impact investing.

Our algorithm will take key health metrics such as life-saving treatments, product accessibility, and employee health, to build a robust scoring system to facilitate cross-industry comparisons of health equity performance among companies. 

This will pave the way for the creation of a comprehensive health impact credit, connecting data-driven insights to company impact.

Imagine the possibilities: companies receiving their health impact credit can unlock invaluable insights and incentives, including economic benefits, heightened ESG scoring, increased competitiveness, and enhanced investability.

We’re forging a path toward a healthier, more equitable world, one where economies can thrive and communities will flourish. Please be in touch if you or your organization would like to learn more.
