IMPACT INVESTING: INVESTING FOR GOOD | #30 | with Tom Adlam


Listen Later

Can money be a force for good? Can investments bring well-being and empowerment? You would think that’s exactly what investments should normally do. Unfortunately, in the current liberal market economies investments very often extract benefits for investors, or capital holders, while people and communities as well as the nature suffer. However, there exist investors who are looking for making good with their money, favoring benefits for the society and environment over financial

return. This is called Impact Investing.

In this episode, I talk with Tom Adlam, an Impact Investing Expert with over thirty years progressive financial and investment experience, predominantly in East and

Southern Africa. Since January 2023, he has been working on an advisory basis on a range of impact investing-related assignments, including the Global
Steering Group for Impact Investing (GSG), Palladium International, Ecorys, and Agri-Frontiers.

We discuss with Tom what exactly Impact Investing is, what challenges such investors face, and how Impact Investing can become a mainstream. While the idea of impact investing seems very attractive, there are multiple challenges on its way.
