Did you know multinational companies work with the GIIN to learn how to leverage their financial assets and capabilities for impact investing? Launched in 2022, the Corporate Impact Investing Initiative helps companies understand how to implement impact investing strategies to advance their social and environmental goals while achieving shareholder and business objectives. Last month, we sat down with Schneider Electric to discuss their impact investing strategy as featured in our recent corporate case study publication. Below are three key takeaways from our conversation, and be sure to visit our website to get involved: https://lnkd.in/e_X7hKHX. ▶️ Collaboration and partnerships are the foundation of Schneider’s impact investing strategy. This unlocks greater amounts of capital via co-investors, brings in regional expertise and ensures longevity through strong relationships with partners including DFIs, family offices, asset managers and other companies. ▶️ Investees benefit from technical assistance, strategic relationships and expanded access to resources, as a result of Schneider’s impact investments. From supply chain assessment to providing vendor options and more, Schneider’s impact investing strategy adds value to investee companies. Challenges can arise, however, in the early stages of implementation and with some corporate departments (e.g., legal) who may still be learning how impact investing works. ▶️ These benefits drive progress on positive outcomes for both Schneider and the investee companies. Schneider's impact investing strategy contributes to corporate sustainability goals, specifically around providing access to green electricity. It also improves employee retention and initiates the creation of new partnerships. Learn more on our website and reach out if you’re keen to get your company active in #impactinvesting.

The difference between #esg investing and #impactinvesting: 1. ESG is a framework. Impact investing is a strategy. 2. ESG faces fiduciary scrutiny. Impact does not. 3. ESG can be risk-mitigating or an opportunity. Impact is both. 4. ESG is generally a financial-first framework. Impact investing generally equally weights financial, social, and environmental impact. 5. ESG-focused investments are primarily public market entities. Impact investments are primarily private market entities. 6. All impact funds are ESG-compliant, but not all ESG funds are impact. #sustainablefinance #impact #weekendread

How can corporations contribute to achieving sustainability goals? The Global Impact Investing Network #GIIN launched the corporate impact investing initiative to explore and mobilize ways corporations can leverage partnerships and make impact investments. The impact investing landscape is changing as global corporations and corporate foundations develop strategies to pursue social and environmental objectives. The GIIN's corporate landscape report, "Corporates Deploying Impact Investing Strategies" (September 2023) along with the collection of case studies "New Pathways to Achieve Social and Environmental Goals" (November 2023) delves into the reasons why companies should familiarize themselves with this innovative approach. Key insights include: – Companies can become catalysts for change: They can scale solutions for our most pressing challenges, and some of them are already making use of impact investing as a business practice to pursue their social and environmental goals. – Different approaches to impact investing can run in parallel: Companies can use multiple impact investing approaches concurrently to pursue a particular impact goal or a number of interdependent ones. – Collaboration is critical: Companies and impact investors share sustainability priorities and should explore collaborations and co-investments opportunities.
