“The paradigm shift embodied in the impact investment community is from Egosystem to Ecosystem”
Why should we be building Impact Economies across the world? And how can it be done?
This is the mission of The Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG). Spearheaded by Sir Ronald Cohen, GSG are already enabling impact capacity building by establishing and supporting national impact advisory boards across 75 countries, including with our colleagues at the Hellenic Impact Investing Network (HIIN), here in Greece.
With a goal to harness influence, stimulate innovation and foster the building of impact economies, GSG also push for knowledge sharing and collaboration, a natural trait of the impact community and something that is close to our hearts at Investing for Purpose.
To hear more, Krisztina Tora, GSGs Chief Market Development Officer, tells the full story in this pod, including:
- Why we need to develop impact investment globally and how local-to-global impact networks are key to the solution
- The need to focus attention on early-stage companies
- The stark differences between ESG and Impact investing
- The importance of channelling capital flows into emerging markets and SDG aligned solutions
- Why post-growth thinking is not comfortable, but is essential in an AI dominated future
- The ABC definitions of impact categorisation
As well as the Impact community as a 'family', how we can all get better sleep - and more!
“Impact should become the driver for all decisions in business, investment, policy and consumption”
