Investing for Impact: Steak & Sizzle (Public Markets & Private)
Steve Schueth, First Affirmative Financial Network / The SRI Conference
This session features a panel of impact investing experts, all seeking to own, support, and profit from "companies of the future." The panel will move beyond the hype to explore impact investment strategies in action -- in both the public and private markets. This session will frame impact investing as a catalyst capable of transforming capitalism into a force for positive change on a revolutionary level (as opposed to evolutionary).
