With so many ways to help the planet, sometimes we overlook methods that aren’t as obvious. Impact investing is one of these less obvious solutions to protecting the environment, but depending on your specific investment decisions, it can do a lot of good.
Impact investing is like investing in real estate or the stock market, but with a slightly different focus. Rather than caring solely about the amount of money you’ll receive for your return on investment, you pay careful attention to how the organization you’re investing in will benefit the earth. These organizations can be entirely focused on making the world a better place to live, or they can be businesses with other goals, but with a mission to protect the planet by recycling or choosing sustainable product options.
There are many things to consider when researching good impact investing options. To learn how to get started, look through the infographic from Annuity.org below.
