Setting up positive impact investment projects
Definition, context
To move from developing an impact strategy to actually implementing it, identifying and building relevant and responsible impact investment projects is a critical step: shared value programs, land use and local development, community conservation, sustainable agricultural value chains, nature-based solutions… It is often necessary for an organization to seek support to optimize its investment in terms of risk management and the creation of environmental and social impacts, to measure these impacts, and to ensure their sustainability.
