Commentary: Has Impact Investing Reached a Fork in the Road?

In an Op-ed for Pensions & Investments, GIIN CEO and co-founder Amit Bouri discusses the big picture challenge the impact investing industry is currently facing: that despite “considerable progress” it is “not moving fast enough on addressing the major problems the world faces.” Bouri states that the path the industry must take is one that leads to “nothing less than a transformation of the financial markets” which will “create a world where every investment accounts for social and environmental impact.” He concludes the piece by listing a three-part mission for achieving this goal, and calls for “deliberate, focused, coordinated action from visionaries committed to a new future.”
