What is ethical impact investing?
Ethical impact investing involves directing capital toward investments that generate positive social and environmental outcomes alongside financial returns. It focuses on addressing global challenges, such as climate change, inequality, and poverty, while aligning investments with the investor’s ethical values.
How does ethical impact investing differ from ESG investing?
- Ethical impact investing actively seeks to create measurable positive impact in society and the environment.
- ESG investing incorporates environmental, social, and governance factors into investment analysis and decision-making, but it may not always prioritize measurable impact.
Is ethical impact investing only for philanthropists?
No. Ethical impact investing appeals to a wide range of investors, from philanthropists to institutional investors, seeking financial returns while contributing to societal good. It provides an opportunity to align investment portfolios with personal or organizational values without necessarily compromising profitability.

Ethical investments are typically evaluated based on:
- Alignment with values or ethical principles.
- Adherence to ESG criteria.
- Impact measurement frameworks, such as SDGs or GIIN’s IRIS+.
- Transparency in operations and reporting.
- Engaging with an impact-focused fund manager or using ethical investment platforms can help verify an investment’s ethical credentials.

-
Impact-Return Tradeoff: In some cases, prioritizing impact might reduce financial returns.
-
Measurement Challenges: Quantifying impact can be complex and subjective.
-
Market Risks: As with any investment, ethical impact investments are subject to market volatility.
Diversifying investments and working with experienced advisors can help mitigate these risks.

- Research funds or opportunities aligned with your values.
- Engage with advisors or platforms specializing in ethical investments.
