• It is defined as an investment with the intention of generating a positive social and environmental impact as well as a financial return.
• Supported by powerful institutional actors at the international level (G8, OECD and UN), impact investing is growing.

A complex ecosystem

• On the demand side, the actors are social enterprises, cooperatives, for-profit enterprises with a social mission and non-profit entities that require capital to develop from a social or environmental perspective.
• GIIN estimates that achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 in emerging countries will cost about US$2.5 trillion per year.
• Once reserved to the public sector, the area of social enterprise is now increasingly attracting private capital, enabling governments to make progress toward SDGs.

First challenge: mitigating country risk

• An appropriate governance framework, including effective public administration, respect for the rule of law, low levels of corruption and transparency in business procedures, is necessary for impact investing to develop, as it helps to reduce country risk for investors.
• The OECD proposes a framework as a tool for governments, and the first step is to define impact investing’s legal framework.

Challenge two: developing non-financial intermediaries

• On the demand side, investment funds, contract development and management skills support structures are increasingly used to support the emergence and growth of social entrepreneurs.
• In addition, there is a need for local enterprises to better understand the rules of the game.

Challenge 3: Measuring non-financial impact

• The social impact of microfinance has been the subject of much debate.
• Some progress has been made in this area with the development by the GIIN of the Impact Reporting and Investment Standards (IRIS), a catalogue of performance metrics used by impact investors to measure the social returns of their investments.

Specific approaches

• First, standardisation must be tempered by the need for specific (local and idiosyncratic) approaches.
• Otherwise, it can impose on companies approaches that do not allow for proper development management and are resource intensive.
