Understanding Impact Investing

An investment usually involves money and time, hence we can say that investment is the commitment of money to receive more money in the future. From a broader viewpoint, the purpose of investing is to generate a return on the investedasset (ROI). 

The basic objective of impact investing is to help reduce the negative effects of business activity on the social or physical environment. That’s why impact investing may sometimes be considered an extension of philanthropy. Investors who use impact investing as a strategy consider a company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) or the sense of duty to positively serve society as a whole before they become involved with that company. Some common examples include giving back to the community by helping the less fortunate or investing in sustainable energy practices to help save our planet or other types of empowerment programs.

The bulk of impact investing is done by institutional investors, including hedge funds, private foundations, banks, pension funds, and other fund managers. JMM Energies & Metals Ng Ltd is fully committed in the area of impact investing.
