Discover how you can use your wealth for positive impact

Perhaps you have been curious about impact investing for some time. You read articles, follow developments in sustainability and social impact, and wonder how you can use your wealth in a way that aligns with what matters most to you.

But where do you start?

During this interactive online session by CSP & PYM, you will be introduced to the fundamentals of impact investing and discover how other private wealth holders and families have taken their first steps on their impact investing journey.
What to expect

Be inspired by real stories

Experienced impact investor Naomi will share her personal journey. How did it begin? What choices were made along the way? And what can an impact portfolio look like in practice?


Naomi

Naomi is the third generation of her family's business, ProDelta, founded in 1946. Born in Israel and now residing in the Netherlands, she brings a multicultural perspective to both business and life.

Today, Naomi is involved in continuing to develop the family's core businesses in real estate, with a particular focus on warehousing and mobile cranes, while also leading PI Impact, the family's impact investing platform.
Five years ago, she started PI Impact with a sector-agnostic approach, exploring how capital could be deployed to create positive social and environmental impact alongside financial returns. Over time, this exploration evolved into a more focused investment strategy centered on the built environment.
Her work is driven by a long-term vision that combines entrepreneurship, responsible stewardship, and meaningful partnerships. 

During this session, Naomi will share her personal impact investing journey, the evolution of PI Impact, and the lessons she learned while integrating impact investing alongside a long-established family business.

Outside of work, Naomi is happily married and is the proud mother of four teenage boys, who keep life lively, a bit challenging but also rewarding.

Understand the basics

What does impact investing actually mean? How does it differ from sustainable or traditional investing? What impact themes exist, and how can you create impact across different asset classes?

Learn together

Short, inspiring presentations and small-group conversations. Meet other private wealth holders and families who are exploring or deepening their impact investing journey.

This session will be hosted by

Suzanne Rosman

As Director of PYM, Suzanne brings together investors, families, and entrepreneurs around the question of how capital can contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world. 

Falko Paetzold

Founder, CSP; Managing Director CCSP-HSG

Discover what your next step could be

Whether you are completely new to impact investing or have already taken a few steps, this session will help you better understand the possibilities available and what a logical next step might be for you.

There will also be plenty of opportunity to exchange experiences in small groups with other participants who are at a similar stage of their journey. Many participants consider these conversations one of the most valuable parts of the evening: discovering that there is no single right path and that almost every impact investor once started with the same questions.

For whom

This session is intended for private wealth holders and single family offices who want to explore impact investing, gain a better understanding of what an impact portfolio can look like, and learn from the experiences of others.

You do not need any prior experience with impact investing. Curiosity is enough.


What previous participants said

  • "A refreshing way of sharing knowledge and experience in the transition from traditional investing to conscious investing for positive impact."


  • "This session showed me that you do not need to know everything before you can start impact investing."


  • "What I valued most was the openness with which experienced impact investors shared their own journey and portfolio."
