Impact Investing
Impact investments are investments made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to advance the company’s mission (e.g. generate social impact) alongside a financial return. It is a form of socially responsible investing that serves as a guide for various investment strategies. It is also referred to mission-related impact investing and often described as double-bottom-line investing where both social and financial returns are targeted.
