Philanthropy Impact: 27 Years of Advancing the Impact Economy
The Spectrum of Capital
Capital flows across a continuum:
- Traditional Investment: profit-first, limited regard for impact.
- Responsible/ESG Investment: applying screening and ESG integration.
- Impact Investment: balancing financial performance with measurable social and environmental benefit.
- Social Investment and Philanthropy: prioritising mission and societal outcomes over returns.
At the centre lies the impact economy—where capital weightlifts economies by delivering sustainability, equity, and positive change alongside performance.
