About Anton & Impact Pathways.

We work with leaders of impact-driven organisations to help them manage impact with focus and intent, so their effort leads to meaningful and lasting change.

Over the past three decades, Anton has supported a wide range of impact-led organisations — including charities, social enterprises, mission-driven businesses, financial service providers, investors, and support organisations — across the UK and internationally. My work spans strategy, theory of change, impact management, measurement, and learning, always with a practical focus on how impact shapes real decisions and day-to-day practice.

I’m known for helping organisations cut through complexity and focus on what drives impact in practice, not just in frameworks or reports. My work connects impact strategy to everyday decisions, performance, and communication.

About Anton.

I played a leading role in developing and advancing the Universal Standards for Social and Environmental Performance Management, now widely used by financial institutions and investors worldwide.

I’m also the author of The Business of Doing Good, which explores how organisations translate social purpose into effective practice.

I lead all client engagements personally and work alongside clients as a thinking partner and guide. Where specialist expertise adds value, I collaborate with a trusted international network of experienced partners. This allows us to bring the right expertise while keeping work grounded, practical, and context-specific.

Our aim is to build your organisation’s internal clarity and capability, so that impact management becomes part of how you work, and not something dependent on external support.

The Business of Doing Good explores what it takes for organisations using markets to deliver meaningful social impact.

Drawing on the experience of a pioneering Cambodian microfinance institution, the book sets out six practical insights on how organisations can align strategy, products and systems to truly serve the people they aim to help.
