Overview of impact investing activities

Acting from the standpoint of an organization that has played a central role from the dawning of the age of impact investing in Japan to the building of the ecosystem, SIIF creates successful examples of impact investing in partnership with important stakeholders. We are nurturing human resources and organizations involved in impact investing, and using research and policy proposals to put in place the required environment for the promotion of impact investing. We are also actively participating in development processes for shared rules and methodologies related to impact investing that are moving forward globally.

Impact investment is investment that aims to generate positive and measurable social and environmental impacts in addition to financial returns. Traditional investing is measured on the two dimensions of risk and return, but impact investing is based on measuring the three dimensions of risk, return, and impact.
