Effective impact investing relies on robust impact measurement and management (IMM) to ensure accountability and maximize positive outcomes. Frameworks like IRIS+ from the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) and the Social Return on Investment (SROI) are essential tools for tracking social and environmental impacts. By embracing IMM, investors can make informed decisions that drive meaningful change. #ImpactInvesting #ImpactMeasurement #SocialImpact #Accountability

Everyone agrees that impact investing is on the rise. According to the Global Impact Investing Network, the market for impact capital, currently sized at $60 billion, could grow over the next decade to $2 trillion, or 1% of global invested assets. But despite this growing interest, impact investing still faces a significant stumbling block that limits the flow of new capital into the field: not everyone agrees on what “impact investing” actually means. https://lnkd.in/e_4arNx

Exciting news in the world of impact investing! The Asian Impact Management Review (AIMR) has just published a review of the book "Impact Investing at a Crossroads" by Terry Gray (Impact Bridges Group) and John Forrer (The George Washington University). This recognition from AIMR, a leading voice in impact management and measurement in Asia, underscores Gray and Forrer's global relevance and importance. For those unfamiliar, AIMR is published by the Asian Institute for Impact Measurement and Management, the benchmark centre for impact management and measurement in Asia. The institute's affiliation with National Central University in Taiwan further cements its credibility in the field. This review highlights the book's contribution to the discourse on impact investing and demonstrates the growing global interest in innovative financial models that drive positive social and environmental change. Their work continues to shape the conversation around impact investing on an international scale. #ImpactInvesting #SocialImpact #GlobalFinance #SustainableInvesting
