Impact Investing Isn't ESG

A recent op-ed in Impact Entrepreneur Magazine explains that “Impact investing isn’t the same as ESG investing.” ⁠ Here are some key takeaways:

 

  • The terms “impact investing” and “ESG” (Environmental, Social, and Governance) are not synonyms.

  • If you look through the list of thousands of other public companies, you’ll find a significant number with high ESG scores but very few that have an actual positive impact.

  • Simply put, ESG measures how a company operates while impact measures what a company does.
