Impact Economy

An economic system that prioritises the creation of positive social and environmental impact. In an impact economy, businesses, investments, and economic activities are designed and evaluated based on their ability to generate measurable benefits for people and the planet, while also being financially sustainable. The impact economy seeks to redirect the flow of capital, resources, and talent towards solving pressing social and environmental challenges, and to create a more equitable, resilient, and regenerative economic system.
