‍This session's focus: 

• Is Impact Investing effective? We’ll examine whether impact investing is creating real change or merely playing into “greenwashing” narratives.
• Financial Returns vs. Social Impact: Can investors achieve competitive returns while driving meaningful impact, or is there a trade-off?
• Redefining Success: With no universal standards, how do we measure impact investing success? We’ll discuss how to assess outcomes through a broader lens than monetary KPIs alone.
