Tideline’s ‘Framework for Impact Labeling’ helps investors communicate their approach to sustainable investing based on the degree to which they integrate Intentionality, Contribution, and Measurement into their investment process In 2018, Richard Long produced a series of screen prints, based on drawings he made from mud taken from the banks of the tidal River Avon in Bristol, where he first played as a child. ‘Even as a kid I was fascinated by the enormous tide, and the mud banks, and the wash of the boats as they swept past… I guess it’s right to say that I have used that experience in my art: like water, the tides, the mud. All that cosmic energy is there in my work.’ Based in the small mid-Wales market town of Machynlleth, Coch-y-Bonddu Books are leading international dealers in new and out-of-print books on the subjects of angling, game shooting, sporting dogs and falconry. Coch-y-Bonddu Books grew out of the interests of owner, Paul Morgan, who issued his first catalogue of second-hand fishing and sporting books in 1982, while he was still working as a water bailiff on the River Dyfi. A series of successful and comprehensive sporting catalogues enabled Paul to take up bookselling full-time in 1990, giving him more time to travel the world in pursuit of rare and interesting books. Intentionality – Explicitly targeting specific social or environmental outcomes, such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); We are thrilled to see both the CLIF and Toolkit come to life, and look forward to seeing CLI continue to be adopted by investors across the market.

Fresh from the launch of Corpus Maris I, commissioned for this year’s Sydney Biennale, and adopting a reduced footprint approach to making that is being supported locally by Messums Creative, Julia Lohmann fabricated a series of seaweed sculptures for the gallery in Wiltshire in March. A long-time champion of kelp as a material for reimagining living with our resources, Lohmann’s luminous structures suggest new propositions for sustainable creative practice. ‘Every species has an equal right to life on this planet. We can use the same human ingenuity that has led to the climate crisis we are facing now… to protect and regenerate the ecosystem that sustains us.’ We had an amazing time in Copenhagen last week at #GIINForum23, where we were able to connect and reconnect with clients, partners, and luminaries in impact investing. In particular, it was a pleasure to celebrate the launch of the new Child-Lens Investing Framework we worked on with UNICEF USA and UNICEF.

Inside, Tania Kovats’ Bleached anticipates what future museum presentations of these vital and fast-disappearing habitats might look like. Taking specially-fabricated coral from a decommissioned exhibit from The Deep aquarium in Hull, Kovats sliced through the When advising on fund formation, Tideline is guided by our framework for establishing a client’s impact integrity , which features three key pillars: Target Market (identifying the impact characteristics of the target market in which a fund is investing); Capabilities (developing the capabilities of the investor to deliver and demonstrate impact); and Positioning (advising on the appropriate positioning for the fund). When all three pillars are aligned, investors will significantly enhance their ability to achieve targeted impact, client satisfaction, and avoid accusations of impact washing. Once an impact fund is launched, Tideline is often retained as a provider of ongoing implementation services.

My other ‘Anthropocene Fossil’ pieces are fossilised vessels of the Petro-chemical industry; an oil barrel and a jerry can. There is a circularity to these works as the Hamstone used is a Jurassic limestone, and most of the crude oil processed by the petro-chemical industry is found trapped within Jurassic or cretaceous limestone. Q. What is the inspiration behind your work in Tideline and how does it sit within the context of your work? Q. What is the inspiration behind your work in Tideline and how does sit within the context of your work? These barriers of shapes protecting the land from the sea represent a metaphor to me of the human condition and struggles that we face. Particularly apt at a time when the nightmare that is Brexit has become real, disease has turned our lives upside down and we are on the brink of a potential world war.The Tideline team is proud to highlight the publication of the Child-Lens Private Equity & Debt Investor Toolkit – released last week to the market as a practical tool for implementing the Child-Lens Investing Framework (CLIF) published in October. The guide also introduces the Tideline Framework for Impact Labeling, which compares and contrasts different approaches to sustainable investing according to the degree to which those investment approaches integrate three core pillars of impact investing: I wanted the sculpture to be a playful yet beautiful reminder of climate change and the purpose of these forms, and what our future will be like if we don’t take action now to prevent it. Child-lens Investing (CLI) is an approach to sustainable investing in which investors intentionally consider child-related factors to advance positive child outcomes while minimizing child harm. CLI weaves together best practices from the ESG and impact investing ecosystems to form a holistic approach to sustainable investing that honors the diverse conditions needed to facilitate a good childhood. Because childhood is a powerful engine of equity, prosperity, and possibility, CLI approaches benefit both children and everyone around them. Measurement – Monitoring and reporting impact performance based on measurable inputs, outputs and outcomes.

Impact verification came to the forefront in April 2019 with the introduction of the Operating Principles for Impact Management (“OPIM” or the “Impact Principles”), led by the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) and now featuring a growing group of more than 100 signatories dedicated to “establishing a common discipline around the management of investments for impact.” One of these Principles—Principle 9—specifically requires signatories to publicly disclose and independently verify their alignment with the Principles on a regular basis. I have wondered ever since, why businesses don’t have people in their boardrooms and in the decision-making process who speak up for the cost to the environment that they exclude from their balance sheets. It is really a conversation about values: one group of people trading and seeking to make money should not be plundering our shared ground and seas, just because the cost to the planet does not appear on their profit and loss sheet. Where one body of water is sinking beneath or riding over top of the surface layer of another body of water (somewhat similar in mechanics to subduction and/or uprisal of the earth plates at continental margins). These types of tidelines are often found where rivers enter the ocean. In 2018, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) recognized the need to mobilize private capital for the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and reached out to Tideline to help identify catalytic ways to accelerate investment flows. Tideline led UNDP through an iterative design process that involved interviews with a broad range of investors and active engagement with UNDP bureaus and country offices around the world to better understand the key barriers that investors face when trying to allocate capital to the SDGs. Q. What can artists and creative thinkers do to engage the public on ocean literacy and climate change, and promote sustainable ways of living with the planet?I have a wide range of interests and spend time looking into contemporary matters, both through the internet and through talking to people involved both in creating the problems and the solutions that are affecting our planet. Congratulations to the UNICEF and UNICEF USA teams on their release of the Child-Lens Investing Framework! Tideline is proud to have worked alongside UNICEF and UNICEF USA in the development of this framework, introducing the concept of child-lens investing to the market. Photographed during a 2015 visit to Iceland, the glaciers forming the basis for Wayne Binitie’s Liquid Paintings and Octet sculptures no longer exist. These works mark the beginning of a continuing collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey that saw Binitie’s work, Polar Zero, forming the centrepiece of an exhibition during the United Nations COP 26 Climate Conference last November. ‘The scale of the topic is so overwhelming and so complex that it can feel distant, even apocalyptic. People need something tangible to get hold of, that collapses that distance.’ Global warming and rising sea levels will soon have a devastating impact on our daily lives. Cornwall is one of the UK counties which will be most affected by climate change; cliffs are eroding and flood risks are increasing. The coastal cliffs of North Cornwall are likely to experience 40 metres of erosion in the next century. Climate change is happening now, and we can already see the effects that this is having around the world.
