There is a growing global trend with an increasing number of investment funds taking a strategic decision to only focus on business opportunities that besides profit have also an important social or environmental impact. 

 So what constitutes impact?

There is a wide variety of problem that needs addressing these include the social issues such as the humanitarian crisis of refugees, alleviating the impact from climate change-induced extreme weather events, reducing air pollution in cities, addressing ocean plastics, transforming our energy system to clean energy or sustainable ways of food production, to providing access to quality education and healthcare.
