Impact Investing
Impact investing is widely considered to be the most viable solution to bridge the current $2.5 trillion annual financing gap for the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations.
Corporations, due to their vast resources and networks, remain an under-tapped resource in impact investing, but the continued adoption of a stakeholder model and conscious capitalism are mobilizing corporate leaders to explore how they can invest in impact to align societal and financial value.
From early-stage equity funds to community development loan pools, corporations are beginning to place a significant bet on impact investing to help address pressing social issues such as poverty, education, and racial equity.
