| Demonstration Name | Hemisphere Social Bond |
|---|---|
| Demonstration Description | The Hémisphère fund purchased around 100 low-cost hotels across France (to relieve pressure on the Paris and Greater Paris region) that were let to Adoma, a specialist in emergency accommodation and social integration through housing. Adoma is renovating and the hotels into accommodation centres – work that will be financed by Hémisphère and a €100 million loan from the CEB. How does the social impact fund work? The Hémisphère initiative is based on a social impact investment scheme that sees private sector investors funding social programmes that link part of the remuneration to improved social outcomes, including the number of people who have been placed in permanent accommodation or successfully transitioned from the programme, or the proportion of children attending school. These objectives are measured each year by an independent auditor. Benefits of the social impact fund include: • Enabling central government to save 40% on its accommodation budget • Providing more effective control of the quality of accommodation and social support being offered • Delivering a secure financial investment for investors: they receive a secured yield based on the rents from Adoma, and a variable return based on social outcomes • Creating a flexible and easy-to-replicate solution that can be used in other areas of social action, particularly projects that require personalised follow-up services, or that have a major impact on quality of life, such as social housing. Based on innovative finance, social impact funds and bonds enable the private sector to invest for the public good, benefiting the most disadvantaged. This is the largest initiative to use this type of funding instrument. It demands close cooperation between public and private stakeholders. Key stakeholders include: • Central government draws up the technical specifications of the service offering to be entrusted to a social services operator • Adoma, the operator selected by the government, is in charge of providing emergency accommodation and social support • Six long-term institutional investors finance the project as part of a social impact investment (they commit to invest €100 million in equity) • The CEB extends a loan of €100 million to Hémisphère • An independent assessor measures the social outcomes, which determine part of the investors’ returns. Hémisphère is a social impact investment fund managed by AMPERE Gestion, which brings together major institutional investors: – France Aviva – BNP Paribas Cardif – Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations – CNP Assurances – MAIF – PRO BTP |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why?
We have fund our selves at a crossroads. Buildings energy efficiency is not moving fast enough to meet the Paris Agreement goals. Innovative financial instruments, business models and regulatory frameworks are urgently needed.
We can continue in this direction. Or we can explore a new way forward. The encyclopenergy aims to do just that in a bid to streamline and optimise the way the built environment community shares knowledge.
The enclyponergy aims at creating a comprehensive compendium to support the spread and scale of innovation in financing solutions, business models, and regulatory frameworks to accelerate the transition to a less carbon-intensive built environment.
Who?
The project ‘Climate Positive Circular Communities’, short name ARV, is funded by the European Green Deal initiative as an Innovation Action within the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme. The enclycopenergy is a flower germinating from the ARV in order to map the world state of art when it comes to energy efficiency financing, business models and regulatory frameworks. The Green Digital Finance Alliance as an ARV Consortium partner is in the lead of such an effort.
What?
The Encyclopenergy is a crowd-open-sourced encyclopedia of energy efficiency enablers. It is a crowdsourced global catalogue of financing tools, business models, and regulatory frameworks enabling, empowering, and scaling energy efficient solutions for the built environment. It also offers intelligence to list demonstrations and organization working in the field with the hope this will be a boomerang to boost the renovation wave.
Where?
Everywhere. Ubiquitus. Onlline. And in your pocket. The encyclopenergy wants to be a practical tool available to all at all time. You can surf it, download it and populate it from anywhere.
When?
The encyclopenergy is still in its infancy. It was kickstarted on March 1st 2022. Help this living knowledge hub to grow, refine and ameliorate so that it can graduate into a useful tool for a climate positive built environment.
