What is Impact Investment?
Impact investments are investments made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact, alongside a financial return.
Impact investors exhibit a range of traits and motivations, and adopt different strategies and approaches in their investments.
Guiding Principles on Impact
MYImpact’s guiding principles offer a framework for understanding impact and grasping its complexities and nuances. With the impact investment landscape continually evolving, a principles-based approach will serve as an anchor to narrow the scope on what to focus and measure, while acknowledging the complexities and evolving nature of impact investing
Impact in Malaysian Context should include elements of:
- Intention
Drive specific social or environmental outcomes, where impact is central, not secondary.
- Relevance
Address challenges pertinent to Malaysian communities through private capital, specifically in areas where government funding is limited or minimal.
- Inclusivity
Embrace broad social, environmental, and economic benefits that meet the diverse needs of current and future generations across various sectors and communities.
