Event Details

What does an equity investment to a Canadian business that employs marginalized workers, a loan to a private school in India and working capital for a Ugandan fair trade exporter all have in common?  These initiatives rely on impact investment for support. 

In MaRS’s Global Leadership Series, listen to Antony Bugg-Levine of the Rockefeller Foundation – the leadership behind this emerging investment industry – and find out how for-profit investment can be used to solve environmental and social challenges. 

The format for the event includes a presentation, followed by a facilitated dialogue with time allocated for open Q&A’s.  Themes include:

  • Impact Investing and new emerging investor platforms
  • Global Impact Investing Network
  • Social Impact Metrics, IRIS (Impact Reporting and Investment Standards)
  • Social innovation/Social entrepreneurship
