This is an over US$400 billion increase from the US$1.164 trillion estimate in 2022, spread across 3,349 organisations. It also represents a 21% compound annual growth since 2019, indicating growing mainstream acceptance on impact investing. GIIN Co-founder and CEO Amit Bouri announced the finding at the GIIN Impact Forum, calling it is a “really significant number” that is helping to create real-world solutions that make deliver positive environmental and social outcomes. GIIN said the data indicated growing mainstream acceptance of impact investing in the face of global unrest, inflation and increasing impacts of climate change. “I’m so inspired to see how far the impact investing industry has come in the past fifteen years,” he said. “The scale of our ambitions is defined by the scale of the world’s problems. We’ll know that our work is done when the world’s problems are solved. Until then, I’m thankful for everyone working to make impact investing the default investment, putting capital towards solutions.”
