The Social Impact Fund (FIS) aims to address social and environmental challenges, such as territorial and social integration, reducing inequalities, and consolidating the welfare state.
“We support projects that are economically sustainable but have the intention of generating a positive, measurable, and evaluable impact, so that after some time we can say that this investment has addressed a social challenge with a series of results,” explains Raúl Sánchez in the interview.
For Sánchez, the European Union is clear that “the economy does not rule alone” and that we must not lose sight of social impact. Therefore, despite the uncertainty that may weigh on investment funds due to geopolitical tensions, he recalls that the impact economy in Spain has tripled since 2018 and is growing at rates of 20 to 30% at the European level. “More and more agents are incorporating the intention to generate a positive social and environmental impact,” he argues.
