Impact Investing: A global perspective on an emerging capital market
MaRS Centre
101 College Street
Toronto
What does an equity investment to a Canadian business that employs marginalized workers, a loan to a private school in India and working capital for a Ugandan fair trade exporter all have in common? These initiatives rely on impact investment for support.
In MaRS' Global Leadership Series, listen to Antony Bugg-Levine of the Rockefeller Foundation – the leadership behind this emerging investment industry – and find out how for-profit investment can be used to solve environmental and social challenges.
The format for the event includes a presentation, followed by a facilitated dialogue with time allocated for open Q&A’s. Themes include:
- Impact Investing and new emerging investor platforms
- Global Impact Investing Network
- Social Impact Metrics, IRIS (Impact Reporting and Investment Standards)
