Case Study: Impax Asset Management achieves unified, forward‑looking risk management with Protecht

How Impax reimagines risk in asset management

Impax Asset Management, a London-based investment manager focused on the transition to a sustainable global economy, had outgrown its fragmented, Excel-based risk processes after rapid growth. Impax engaged Protecht to design and implement a holistic, forward‑looking enterprise risk management solution (Protecht ERM) to consolidate incident logs, vendor and third‑party records, and other risk data into a single system.

Protecht delivered a flexible, scalable ERM platform with a central repository, modular incident management, automated workflows, a customizable "My Tasks" dashboard and advisory support, and expanded the scope to include third‑party risk management. The implementation produced measurable gains: a single risk taxonomy, stronger controls and accountability, quicker incident closure, and significant time savings (report building fell from about 90 minutes to roughly five minutes), while senior management now uses Protecht dashboards for proactive risk‑based decision making.
