Impact Investing:
Private Investments Designed to Unlock Environmental or Social Solutions
Across the world there is increasing interest in Impact Investing. There are many different definitions for what “impact” really means. We regard impact investing as directing private investments where its intention is to generate beneficial social or environmental impact — along with financial returns.
Impact Investing Global Drivers:
Enterprises that look further ahead and embrace social and environmental constraints and opportunities will, in the long run, outperform those that favor the status quo.
No matter how you define Impact Investing, there is wide agreement that certain global drivers are propelling it into the spotlight – population growth, competition for resources and climate change.
