Impact Investing targets funding towards sectors, businesses and projects that have clear positive social or environmental benefits, as well as positive financial returns.
About the event
At the Impact Investing Summit, the Scottish National Investment Bank, The Times & The Sunday Times Scotland bring together leaders of ‘impact’ businesses, who have received impact focused investment alongside investors who are developing and shaping how this innovative approach to finance works in practice, including from one of its earliest founders and thought leaders.
The Summit will look at
• How making impact investments differs from traditional investing
• How impact investing goes beyond, and is different from, Environmental, Social and Governance-based investing (ESG)
• How the regulator is defining ‘impact’ so that businesses, investors and consumers are all speaking the same language
• How to attract ‘impact’ capital into your business
• How impact investing is already making a difference across Scotland
“The Bank is keen to play a central role in bringing together and broadening the impact investment community in Scotland.”
