Diverse approaches and significant contributions of impact investing

Below are examples which demonstrate the diverse approaches and significant contributions of impact investing in advancing the SDGs across different regions, driving real change on a global scale from the UK, USA, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East and Africa (MENA) regions:

United Kingdom

British International Investment (BII): Formerly known as CDC Group, BII has strategically lowered its return expectations to focus on impactful investments, particularly in climate change initiatives. This approach underscores the belief that achieving substantial impact may require accepting lower financial returns.

United States

Village Enterprise and Common Good Marketplace: These initiatives enable corporations to purchase verified impacts, such as improved livelihoods and health outcomes, through results based funding models. This approach allows companies to align their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investments with the SDGs, effectively contributing to global development programs.
