Impact investing is a steadily growing field driven by investors who are determined to generate social and environmental impact alongside good financial returns. Impact investments are creating opportunities that address the world’s most pressing challenges across different sectors, contributing to wide-ranging sustainability goals, from advancing renewable energy to preserving biodiversity, setting up microfinance funds to ensuring access to affordable basic services. The Global Impact Investing Network approximated the global impact investing market at USD 715 billion in 2020. The promise is alluring – achieve social and environmental benefits together with strong financial returns.
