Impact Investing: Can We Do Good Well?
Description:
Impact or sustainable investing—the use of private capital to pursue financial, social, and environmental goals simultaneously—has gained extraordinary momentum in recent years. Can impact investing live up to the hype and reshape financial markets? Can investors do good for society and the planet while doing well for themselves? Is a more just, inclusive, sustainable world within reach? Join Professor Meeta Kothare (McCombs Social Innovation Initiative), Rakesh Apte (Global Innovation Fund), and Dan Hanson (Jana Partners) as they explore the possibilities and risks of using financial tools for the world's most pressing social and environmental challenges.
