The term "impact investing" first appeared in 2008 and today the
most commonly used definition is investing made with the intention
to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact
alongside a financial return. A similar formulation was adopted by
the G8's Social Impact Investment Taskforce: "the defining
characteristic of impact investment is that the goal of generating
financial returns is unequivocally pursued within the context of
setting impact objectives and measuring their achievement." Impact
investing has occurred in both emerging and developed markets and
the goals of impact investors in committing their capital and
ancillary resources ranging from below market to market rate
returns. Impact investing has occurred in a broad range of sectors
including sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, conservation
and microfinance, and governments and private enterprises have
turned to impact investing tools to address challenges that have
arisen relating to the delivery of basic services such as housing,
healthcare and education.
