Description
Impact investing focuses on investment in companies to create measurable social benefit and create a financial return. Private equity and investment funds, large corporations, family offices and philanthropic foundations are devoting increasing amounts of funds to be invested under these two premises in very relevant sectors, such as infrastructure, renewable energy, real estate, agro-industrial projects, healthcare and education. In this interactive session, we discuss with high-profile industry speakers the issues and challenges affecting this new era of investment and M&A trends, which any corporate lawyer should be aware of.
