Historically, there have always been investors who cared about more than just financial returns. Governments and philanthropists, for example, have set up investment vehicles with mandates to promote social and environmental goals. Over the last decade, impact investing has gained prominence as an approach to investment that aims to achieve both financial returns and social or environmental goals.1 This has created a dynamic but somewhat disorganized market of diverse participants, standards, and concepts. Although still small, the market is attracting considerable interest, and it has the potential to increase in scale, and thereby contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris climate goals. 650 4 Corporate Social Responsibility 650 4 Finance and Development 650 4 Finance and Financial Sector Development 650 4 Financial Regulation and Supervision 650 4 Insurance Industry 650 4 Non Bank Financial Institutions 650 4 Private Sector Development 650 4 Securities Markets Policy and Regulation 650 4 Social Accountability 650 4 Social Development 650 4 Transparency 710 2 International Finance Corporation. 830 0 Other Financial Accountability Study. 830 0 World Bank e-Library. 906 BOOK
