Environmental Impact Investing Group
The Environmental Impact Investing Group (EIIG) supports trusts, foundations and individuals to learn more about environmental impact investing and develop their work in this area. Environmental impact investments are investments made with the intention to generate positive, measurable environmental impact alongside a financial return.
There are many different types of investment finance which can have a positive environmental impact and trusts, foundations and individuals have an important role in making a difference in this field.
About the EIIG
The EIIG consists of three elements – a learning programme, live Market Information Days and networking with fellow members and investors. Participants will:
- Learn about a wide range of issues related to impact investment across eight short online sessions, including what impact investing is, different types of impact investing, regulatory frameworks, due diligence, monitoring investment, governance and more.
- Attend in-person three Market Information Days (MIDs), where a wide range of interesting environmental ventures will present to members and members can learn more about different investing opportunities.
- Join a network for learning – meet and learn from peers, investors and potential investors.
Other important things to know about the EIIG are:
- A commitment to learning: Members will get the most from our programme if they commit to coming to all the learning sessions. Content will build on previous learning. However, we will be recording sessions, and new members will be able to join as we go along.
- Bring a +1. Participants are encouraged to bring a colleague or trustee along to EIIG events so they can learn together. Experience has shown clearly that having more than one person looking to do things differently within an institution makes success more likely.
- Email updates on recorded sessions. Members will receive occasional update emails and have access to recorded online learning sessions.
