Attendees at this conference will debate investing “with the intention to generate social and environmental impact alongside a financial return” in Asia and worldwide. The topics to be covered include: 1) the current status of the sector; 2) methods for mitigating and adapting to climate change; 3) financial services for low-income groups; and 4) the “next generation of leaders and impact investors.” The global market for impact investing is estimated to be worth USD 1.2 trillion.
Background on Organizers: Established in 2009, the Global Impact Investing Network – “the GIIN” – is a US-based nonprofit association of approximately 360 investors and service providers that have an interest in impact investing. The organization arranges gatherings, provides training and performs research in an effort to increase “the level and effectiveness of capital that is supporting market-based solutions to social and environmental problems.”
Founded in 2013, the Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) is an instrument of the government of Hong Kong whose goal is to support the efficiency and growth of the financial services industry via research, training opportunities and industry promotion.
