PART 2 The Purposeful Investment Landscape
Exploring the Landscape
Provides a primer on how business can drive social change through impact investments, offering insights for newcomers to understand and engage in impact investing.

A Short Guide to Impact Investing (Case Foundation) is included as a concise, practitioner-oriented primer that outlines core definitions, a flexible taxonomy/framework, the main impact sectors (community development, small business finance, health, education, microfinance, sustainable consumer products, natural resources, renewable energy and climate change, and sustainable agriculture), and how impact can be pursued across asset classes through vehicles like impact funds and direct investing; this makes it a direct fit for Part 2’s "Exploring the Landscape" chapter by giving readers—especially newcomers—a clear, actionable overview and vocabulary to navigate the purposeful investment landscape and identify the variables that will shape their impact-investing choices.
