Change finance for good
What is Altiorem?
Altiorem is a not-for-profit (community-built) library and resource centre that curates and summarises research and educational content on topics like responsible investing, biodiversity and nature investing, corporate culture, and human rights. There are many barriers to making finance a force for good. Relevant and high-quality information shouldn’t be one of them.
Our mission
To support current and future finance professionals in making the case for sustainable finance and implementing the changes needed to make it a reality.
Helping the finance sector
Altiorem includes organisations of impact, summaries of reports they publish, tools, and volunteer-produced resources on sustainable finance. Members can access credible insights from research faster by prompting our AI chatbot, giving them more time to develop strategies for change.
