Social investment, in a nutshell, is investment that's intended to deliver a positive social impact, as well as a return on the original investment. Social Investment is offered to organisations with a primarily social objective, such as charities, CICs and Registered Societies.
One example of socially responsible investing is community investing, which goes directly toward organizations that both have a track record of social responsibility through helping the community, and have been unable to garner funds from other sources such as banks and financial institutions.
Social impact investors target a diverse range of positive social outcomes that will often be determined by their mission and investment strategy, seeking the greatest opportunity set in target geographies or stakeholder groups that align with that mission and strategy.
Social impact investing is a concept that focuses on investing in sustainable businesses like renewable energy, conservation, etc. This way, the money is invested in gaining returns and promoting fair and ethical work practices at the same time.
