A Roadmap to Real-World Change:
The Investor’s Guide to Impact Is Here
CSP reached a significant milestone in October with the launch of a guide that gives concrete advice for investors on how they can use their levers to bring about real-world change. The fresh Investor’s Guide to Impact compiles years of research on maximizing impact into one booklet and provides tools and concrete steps on how to move from feel-good to do-good investments.
Furthermore, we warmly welcome you to expand your knowledge on impact with us by participating in our upcoming webinars. More information on them below. Cannot wait to see some significant waves of impact still created by the end of this unprecedented year!
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Falko Paetzold
Managing Director and Initiator Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth at the University of Zurich &
Assistant Professor for Social Finance at EBS University
Fresh From the Press and Right to Your Inbox: The Investor’s Guide to Impact!
Maximizing impact is CSP’s reason for being. The Investor’s Guide to Impact created on the foundation of academic research gives investors — be they big or small, private or institutional — the knowledge and frameworks they need to enable solutions for some of the most pressing challenges in the world.
The guide equips you with:
- Knowledge to differentiate between Investor Impact and Company Impact. This distinction is at the core of your additionality as an investor.
- Insights into the three main mechanisms of Investor Impact. Not only will you know what is what. You will know when to use which mechanism to reach your impact goals.
- Ability to make informed decisions and recognize which investment has impact and which not.
