We are delighted to share the report of our 2022 activities and achievements. It is the first such report to be published since Cerise and SPTF formalized our joint venture in 2021—after more than 15 years of working together closely but unofficially. Now that we pool our resources and operate under a common strategic plan, Cerise+SPTF is even more convinced of the value we can bring to responsible inclusive finance stakeholders. And we are even more excited about what the global sector can achieve.

Our sector’s collective work is more important than ever. With less than seven years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the whole world, but especially developing countries, must have financial service providers who are serious about social and environmental performance. But even when the commitment is there, the whole finance value chain—the providers, their investors, regulator and policymakers, raters and auditors, watchdogs, and clients very much included—may struggle to understand what good social and environmental performance consists of, and how to achieve it.

That is where Cerise+SPTF comes in!

Please take a few moments to download the report and read about all our progress last year. Our membership is growing fast, we’re upgrading our systems and tools, we’re forging impactful alliances with new partners—and we’re always focused on keeping people and the planet at the heart of all we do.
