The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) defines Impact Investment as ‘’investments made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return.”
The growing impact investment market provides capital to support solutions to the world's most pressing challenges in sectors such as sustainable agriculture, affordable housing, affordable and accessible healthcare, clean technology, and financial services. Contrary to popular perception, impact investments can be made in both emerging and developed markets at a target rate of returns from below market to market rates, depending on the circumstances and sector.
This special edition, 'Inclusive Africa' focuses on Financial Inclusion in commemoration of the 4th Africa CEO Round-Table & Conference on Corporate Sustainability & Responsibility (AR-CSRTM).
