Investing in social initiatives has often been criticized. Seen as less advantageous, less profitable, and less interesting, it is considered the poor relation of ESG: Environment, Social, and Governance.
Yet, this is precisely where the investment fund Impact Partners has chosen to invest.
Abderzak Sifer, the partner, explains through concrete examples how social investment has become the star of the investment world. Investing for people means investing for a fairer society.
“The company is an extremely interesting lever for social impact. There is no economic performance without sustainable social performance, and no sustainable financial performance without respect for social aspects within the company,” our guest explains.
From a social perspective, investing in programs that promote inclusion, diversity, and equity helps strengthen social cohesion and reduce social tensions. It can also lower long-term costs related to crime, healthcare, and other social issues.
Increasingly, younger generations seek meaning in their work, so investing in social initiatives provides that meaning while contributing to the economy of their company.
