Andrew Kuper @andrew Kuper To those working in Impact Investing let's be a choir and sing together, not shout at each other.
Rachael Rofe @rachrofe Board diverse companies tend to outperform others. An investment in gender diversity can also be just plain smart investing.
Antonia Ruffell @AntoniaRuffell Money & meaning? Profit & purpose? It's all possible & philanthropists are leading the way with their investments.
Robert Dunn @robertddunn Impact investing. It's NOT an asset class but a characteristic of investments in any asset class. Like ESG.
Eda Utku @LivIntegrating If we can get 50c profit out of each product and reach 100m people is that a bad thing? profit and purpose can coexist.
