L’impact financing permet à l’investisseur de poursuivre un double objectif : celui du rendement financier et d’un véritable impact social ou environnemental. La conférence vous permettra de découvrir comment différents véhicules tels que la microfinance, le venture capital dans les entreprises sociales, les prêts et les garanties, utilisés seuls ou en combinaison, permettent d’avoir un impact réel et mesurable. L’impact financing profite ainsi à de vrais projets sur le terrain, s’attaque aux causes d’un mal, rend autonome les bénéficiaires et aboutit souvent à des modèles transposables à grande échelle.

Uli Grabenwarter vous démontrera comment la mesure de l'impact social est devenue une clé pour accéder à de nouvelles sources de financement dans le domaine de l’investissement durable.
