“¡Viva la revolución!” Is Impact Investing truly revolutionary?

In Episode 4 of The ESG Factor Podcast, we talk Impact Investing with Sarah Norris, the co-portfolio manager of the Global Equity Impact fund for Aberdeen Standard Investments.

In this interesting discussion, we chat about:

· Sarah’s path into impact investing and the development of ASI’s impact process,

· discourse analysis and the use of language in impact washing, intent v action,

· whether the “impact revolution” that Ronald Cohen promised is revolutionary,

· the origins of impact investment and applying the concept in public markets,

· the intentions of large private capital flying the flag of impact investing in emerging markets,

· the Sustainable Development Goals and emerging from the COVID-19 crisis.
