Impact Investing – A Hot New Trend
greenworldadmin | Wednesday, October 10th, 2012 | No Comments »As we noted on our website, GreenWorld tries to focus as much as possible on so-called “impact investment” projects. Impact investing focuses on not just achieving a financial return, but a social impact as well. Just the other day, we came across an article from the President of the Rockefeller Foundation Dr. Judith Rodin called “Investing for Impact”. Dr. Rodin writes:
“Until recently there were not many opportunities for socially conscious investors — either institutional or individual — to pursue financial returns and the greater good with the same investment. But that’s all changing, thanks to the emerging field of impact investing, and the impact investors who are building a new kind of marketplace in which financial and social returns are closely linked.”
From our carbon credit investments, to our bamboo investment, and our ethical African farmland investment, we at GreenWorld allow you to invest for both financial and broader social impact.
