Social Good With Market Returns? Investors And Entrepreneurs Are Having It Both Ways
Video Description
The idea of using profit-seeking investment to generate social and environmental good is moving from a periphery of activist investors to the core of mainstream financial institutions. This emerging class of investors reaches far beyond the ‘do no harm’ world of socially responsible investing to actively place capital toward solutions that philanthropy alone cannot reach. This panel includes investors on the leading edge of the wave that is simultaneously creating largescale social, environmental, and financial returns.
