This report takes stock of the market
for impact investing and examines the conditions that would
allow the market to grow and realize its potential.
Historically, there have always been investors who cared
about more than just financial returns. Governments and
philanthropists, for example, have set up investment
vehicles with mandates to promote social and environmental
goals. Over the last decade, impact investing has gained
prominence as an approach to investment that aims to achieve
both financial returns and social or environmental goals.1
This has created a dynamic but somewhat disorganized market
of diverse participants, standards, and concepts. Although
still small, the market is attracting considerable interest,
and it has the potential to increase in scale, and thereby
contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) and the Paris climate goals. |
