Impact investing is an investment strategy that intends to generate positive social impact returns.
It goes beyond traditional investment approaches by directing capital to companies and organizations that align with ethical, sustainable, and socially responsible goals. Impact investors actively seek opportunities to contribute to solutions for global challenges, addressing issues ranging from climate change and social inequality to education.
Venture capital is funding provided to support startups or early-stage companies with the potential for high growth. Social venture capital specifically includes social impact as a criteria alongside potential for financial returns.
