Insights
Please keep in mind while touring the Insights that they are only reflective of the data within the Network Map – not the full Impact Investing landscape. You can learn more about our methodology to reflect this data through our Data Policy on the About Page.
The Impact Investing Network Map provides a variety of ways to view information across the Impact Investing ecosystem. Our vision is to create a robust platform that displays information around investors, companies and investments that represent the full scope of impact investing activity. In analyzing the Network Map data, we identified common behaviors across companies, investors, funds and intermediaries around information-sharing. Below, you’ll find several early insights based on the Network Map dataset. These include the types of organizations that are active in Impact Investing, the impact objectives they are targeting, where they seek to have impact and some transaction details.
The Beta version of the Network Map creates a unique opportunity to build a coalition of Impact Investing data contributors. With the contribution of more data, we can fill the information gaps to create the robust and complete insights necessary to accurately reflect this burgeoning market.
