The Power of Impact Investing

Summary

Impact investing offers a middle way between philanthropy and pure financial investment. It is a means of using capital to drive financial value and social and environmental impact simultaneously. It enables you to combine both motivations at the same time. It's a new world of opportunity. Impact investors include a diverse group but one which is united by a powerful force: a desire to meet the dual goal of achieving financial return while generating significant social and environmental returns
