We align our approach to the framework provided by the Impact Management Project (IMP), which describes 5 dimensions of impact: What, Who, How Much, Contribution, and Risk.
Evidence is building that “market-rate returns” can be generated alongside positive social or environmental outcomes and the market sentiment that impact investing is inherently bad for performance is being challenged.
While some advisors are strong advocates for impact investing and very knowledgeable, many are not jumping up and down to help, either because they don’t know what to do or don’t want to do it, or both.
Today, as investors and entrepreneurs are increasingly interested in the social and environmental impacts of their businesses, we are seeing the term sheet evolve in parallel.
