Impact investment is a subcategory of sustainable investing. It involves investing in companies, organizations and funds with the goal of making a social and/or environmental impact in addition to financial returns. Impact investments can be made in both developed and developing markets. Impact investments are often project-specific and differ from the philanthropy approach (where no financial returns are expected). At Vividam, impact investing also includes special thematic funds (water, climate, renewable energy, etc.). Since the publication of the 17 UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in 2015, more and more investors are measuring and reporting their impact against these 17 goals.
