IPPR’s main focus is to inform and shape public policies through rigorous research. Their key goals encompass addressing social, economic, and environmental challenges by providing insightful analyses and evidence-based recommendations. The organisation aims to contribute to informed decision-making in both government and societal spheres.

IPPR operates as an independent organisation with a structured approach to research and policy advocacy. The institute comprises expert researchers and analysts organised into dedicated teams focusing on specific policy areas such as economics, health, climate change, and social justice. This structure allows for in-depth research and expertise in diverse policy domains.

While not exclusively focused on finance, IPPR’s research often intersects with sustainable finance principles. The organisation contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable development, addressing economic and environmental challenges. Their analyses may touch upon policies related to responsible investment, green finance, and climate-related financial initiatives, aligning with global efforts to integrate sustainability into financial practices.

The website serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and the public. IPPR provides in-depth research reports, policy briefs, and articles on a wide range of topics. Visitors can access practical tools and databases related to policy issues, facilitating a deeper understanding of the challenges and potential solutions. Additionally, the organisation hosts events and webinars, fostering engagement and discussion on critical policy issues.

In summary, IPPR plays a pivotal role in shaping public policies in the UK. With a multidisciplinary approach and a focus on evidence-based research, the institute provides valuable insights into various policy areas, contributing to informed decision-making and societal development.
