It is still intentionally undercounted in metrics of growth\, sustainability\, and GDP. It is within this context we write about India’s 200 million strong artisan economy\, 90% of which operates squarely within the informal landscape. Despite this\, or perhaps because of this informality\, unlike many other sectors\, we see over 50% participation of women — no small feat in a world where the gender dynamics remain deeply skewed in favour of men.\n— From How Investing in Women Artisans Can Catalyze India's Economy\nJoin us for a Deep Dive with Priya Krishnamoorthy and Aparna Subramanyam\, authors of the IE Magazine article How Investing in Women Artisans Can Catalyze India's Economy \nAbout Our Deep Dives\nDeep Dives are hour-long Zoom Meetings: Live Q&A Sessions (as opposed to our Zoom Webinars\, where the audience is in View-Only Mode) between the author(s) or subjects of a Magazine article and our members. Be sure to read the article in question and come bearing questions! \nFeatured Guest\nPriya KrishnamoorthyPriya Krishnamoorthy is an award-winning broadcast journalist\, arts manager and creative impact strategist passionate about bringing creativity/culture in conversation with sustainable development.

NACs will be newly formed\, sustainable enterprises that hold the rights to the productivity and health of natural assets like land or marine areas. They are a new asset class on the New York Stock Exchange enabling owners to convert nature’s value into financial capital\, using that capital to re-invest in the natural assets to protect them or improve their sustainable use. In this way\, we could see huge areas of biodiversity and agricultural land around the world saved and regenerated. Early signs suggest a great deal of interest from investors looking for impact at scale\, and the timing\, with ESG and COP26 front of mind\, may be perfect.\n....Douglas Eger\, businessman\, entrepreneur\, and conservationist is the Chair and CEO of Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG)\, the company that works with natural asset owners to form and list the new asset class of NACs. The IEG has put forward a transformational solution that rejects the assumption that nature is only a cost\, by creating investable assets that provide financial capital for sustainable production from those natural assets.\n— From "Natural Asset Companies (NACs): A New Way to Invest in our Planet" by IE Magazine Correspondent David Stead\nJoin us for a Deep Dive with Douglas Eger\, profiled CEO in the IE Magazine article Natural Asset Companies (NACs) A New Way to Invest in our Planet.

One thing they all have in common\, though\, is that you can’t fix a broken [name any system] with a broken finance system. That’s why regenerative finance — a concept that’s been percolating at the edges of impact investing and sustainable business since at least 2015\, when John Fullerton laid out the principles of regenerative economics — is emerging as an essential strategy. \n\n\n\n\nSimply put\, regenerative finance uses money as a tool to solve systemic problems and regenerate communities and natural environments. Its goal is to heal and create shared value. Profits are not the end\, but rather a means to further progress. In regenerative finance\, circulation replaces accumulation. \n\n\n—  From Regenerative Finance is No Longer the Future — It Has Arrived\n  \nJoin us for a Deep Dive with RSF Social Finance's Jasper van Brakel\, author of the IE Magazine article Regenerative Finance is No Longer the Future — It Has Arrived. \nAbout Our Deep Dives\nDeep Dives are hour-long Zoom Meetings: Live Q&A Sessions (as opposed to our Zoom Webinars\, where the audience is in View-Only Mode) between the author(s) or subjects of a Magazine article and our members. Be sure to read the article in question and come bearing questions! \nFeatured Guest\nJasper van BrakelJasper van Brakel is CEO of RSF Social Finance\, a lending\, giving and investing innovator based in San Francisco. @RSFSocFinance. Van Brakel sees firsthand the energy that mission-aligned\, catalytic capital sparks. He guides RSF in revolutionizing how people relate to and work with money\, leading a talented team that develops innovative giving\, investing\, and lending programs to address the significant social\, environmental\, and economic challenges of our time.

According to the World Economic Forum\, three socio-economic production and consumption systems — food\, infrastructure\, and energy — are responsible for the largest pressures on biodiversity. In fact\, approximately 80% of threatened and near-threatened species are currently endangered by these three systems with the impacts from food\, land\, and ocean use posing by far the greatest biodiversity threat. Accordingly\, those companies that recognize the biodiversity-related risks to their companies and our planet\, and actively work to transform their business models to support the regeneration of nature\, can provide compelling investment opportunities for capital market participants. Through investment in solution-oriented companies operating in these three socio-economic systems\, investors can help transform individual industries\, build a more robust global economy and\, ultimately\, ensure the vitality of our planet.\n— From Investing in Nature Through the Public Equity Markets\nJoin us for a Deep Dive with Vicki Benjamin\, Andrew Niebler and Robert Clapham\, authors of the IE Magazine article Investing in Nature Through the Public Equity Markets. \nAbout Our Deep Dives\nDeep Dives are hour-long Zoom Meetings: Live Q&A Sessions (as opposed to our Zoom Webinars\, where the audience is in View-Only Mode) between the author(s) or subjects of a Magazine article and our members. Be sure to read the article in question and come bearing questions! \nFeatured Guest\nVicki BenjaminVicki Benjamin is a co-founder of the Adviser and has been its Chief Executive Officer since it commenced operations as an investment adviser in 2018.

Much of that funding needs to go to efficiently capitalizing impactful\, entrepreneurial business solutions. There are growing numbers of entrepreneurship centers and accelerators devoted to impact entrepreneurship\, yet there are relatively few centers and accelerators focused on nurturing and activating new impact investors. \nHow do we create an effective infrastructure to welcome and activate the thousands of high-net-worth individuals\, hundred thousand foundations\, four thousand family offices\, and thousands of corporations that are primed to become impact investors? What are the most efficient and effective ways to engage\, educate\, and activate them? \nIn this live fireside chat and audience Q&A\, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes Stephanie Gripne\, founder and CEO of the Impact Finance Center\, for a discussion of how to activate impact investors at scale and best direct their capital to early-stage impact enterprises. \nFeatured Guest\nStephanie GripneStephanie Gripne founded Impact Finance Center to develop the groundwork for a model that identifies\, educates\, and activates said investors. Investor Clubs create a marketplace for these investors to discover investment opportunities that align with their values. In addition to these clubs\, the Impact Investing Institute was founded as an Ed Tech platform to bring the idea of Full Spectrum Capital to a broader audience\, no matter what their needs are. Lauded by Forbes as “the Steve Jobs of impact investing”\, Stephanie is continuously innovating Impact Finance Center’s model\, which empowers asset owners to become the philanthropists and impact investors they dare to be. Early evaluation efforts of her work indicate that 300 direct impact investments totaling over $500M have been completed. \nHost\nLaurie Lane-ZuckerLaurie Lane-Zucker is Founder and CEO of Impact Entrepreneur\, PBC\, an impact economy business that hosts the Impact Entrepreneur Network — a large\, global network of “systems-minded” entrepreneurs\, investors\, and scholars of social and environmental innovation — and editor and publisher of Impact Entrepreneur\, a digital magazine covering the emerging Impact Economy.

Over time\, commercial interest in it will wane\, reducing the available capital\, and thus creating a vicious cycle that makes it harder for local entrepreneurs to build businesses and create prosperity. Therefore\, the highest priority for emerging markets impact investors must be to improve returns.” \nIn contrast\, impact investor and author (Adventure Finance) Aunnie Patton Power\, in an Impact Entrepreneur webinar\, asserts that “private equity is not correct for 99% of impact enterprises”\, in part due to the gulf separating the expectations between equity investors and impact enterprises. She proposes a range of more attractive\, patient\, and\, at times\, “concessionary” options\, including\, in a recent IE Magazine article\, Revenue-based Financing. \nHow should one balance these two visions?

Policies and laws can be either a help or hindrance in moving the economy toward authentic sustainability and supporting businesses that have measurable social and/or environmental aims built into their DNA. \nLawyers play a critical role in determining how the necessary paradigm shift is done\, financed\, and regulated\, and how the ecosystem functions. For example\, the foundational notions of stakeholder capitalism and circular economy need not only clarifying principles and effective measures but also a bulletproof set of mechanisms for them to not only be usefully implemented but truly transformational. \nIn practice\, when the triple bottom line enters seriously into the conversation\, many conventional assumptions and methodologies break\, and new models and instruments need to be crafted. Lawyers are needed to navigate this increasingly complex geography — testing their values\, legal acumen\, and creativity. \nIn this live fireside chat and audience Q&A\, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes distinguished attorney Chintan Panchal\, who has co-created and facilitated the launch of numerous scalable and investible solutions that address social and environmental targets for clients around the world.

It seems as though every day another round of corporate statements\, pronouncements\, and commitments trickle out with little meaningful analysis\, transparency\, or ensuing change reported.

Building on this integration of sustainability factors\, it can now transition to a third stage that recognizes both the power of investments to impact social\, financial\, and environmental systems and the complexity of the times we live in. We call this system-level investing”. \nSystem-level investors believe that “it is time to support and enhance the health and stability of the social\, financial\, and environmental systems on which they depend for long-term returns. They preserve and strengthen these fundamental systems while still generating competitive or otherwise acceptable performance.” In this live virtual fireside chat and audience Q&A\, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes William Burckart to discuss the context\, philosophy\, and practical implementations of systems-level investing. \nGuest\nWilliam BurckartWilliam Burckart is the President of The Investment Integration Project (TIIP)\, a consulting services and applied research firm that provides advice\, thought leadership and a turnkey solution to help investors manage systemic risks and opportunities. He has also contributed to the field through groundbreaking research\, including the development of market insights and practical guidance for investors and financial advisors in collaboration with the Money Management Institute (MMI); co-editing the New Frontiers of Philanthropy: A Guide to the New Tools and Actors that Are Reshaping Global Philanthropy and Social Investing (Oxford University Press); and helping to write the “Status of the Social impact investing Market: A Primer” (UK Cabinet Office) that was distributed to policymakers at the inaugural G8-level forum on impact investing. Mr. Burckart is a fellow of the High Meadows Institute and co-author of the book 21st Century Investing: Redirecting Financial Strategies to Drive Systems Change (Berrett-Koehler\, 2021). \nHost\nLaurie Lane-ZuckerLaurie Lane-Zucker is Founder and CEO of Impact Entrepreneur\, PBC\, an impact economy business that hosts the Impact Entrepreneur Network — a large\, global network of “systems-minded” entrepreneurs\, investors\, and scholars of social and environmental innovation — and editor and publisher of Impact Entrepreneur\, a digital magazine covering the emerging Impact Economy.
