Impact Investment
Impact investing is making investments to help create beneficial social or environmental effects while also generating financial gains. This investment strategy can involve different types of asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or microloans. The point of impact investing is to use money and investment capital for positive social results.

ESG Investing
ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance. ESG investing refers to how companies score on these responsibility metrics and standards for potential investments. Environmental criteria gauge how a company safeguards the environment. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and communities. Governance measures a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.

Quotes
Robert Rubinstein: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

Simon Thompson: “The Green Finance Education Charter sets out our collective commitment to incorporating green and sustainable finance principles and practice into our education and training programmes for professionals worldwide. Over time, millions of current and future professionals will develop their knowledge of green and sustainable finance – and play their part in leading the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon world.”

Lindsay Angelo
: “As Futurists, it’s not our job to predict the future. It’s our job to lay out plausible paths that may unfold and then to CREATE the future we desire. There is a distinct difference.”
