In the same way that greenwashing<\/em> threatens corporate reputation, the risk of impactwashing<\/em> stalks private equity firms that are devoting resources to \u201cimpact investing.\u201d This concept needs to be conclusively defined to avoid putting at risk its credibility and role as a sustainability accelerator.

A commonly accepted definition of impact investing refers to one that \u201cintentionally seeks a measurable social or environmental impact, in addition to a financial return\u201d. It mentions the three dimensions, although it includes both incremental improvement, associated with ESG practices, and Impact with a capital letter, which changes the system.

Impact investments in the strict sense has its own and demanding requirements. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Fosters transformative solutions, such as new business models.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Impact is only achieved if the investor is actively involved, for example by enabling blended financing schemes or providing expert knowledge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Genuinely and successfully undertaking Impact investing requires much more than a specific narrative. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Set a return framework for this type of investment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Focus on sectors under transformation to which to contribute differentially.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Collaborate with complementary partners which are also focused on positive impact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Impact investing is an opportunity for committed, capable and bold investors; a risk for the rest.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

      De la misma forma que el greenwashing amenaza a la reputaci\u00f3n empresarial, el riesgo de impactwashing acecha a las firmas de capital privado que est\u00e1n dedicando recursos a la \u201cinversi\u00f3n de impacto\u201d. Este concepto necesita concretarse de forma contundente para no poner en riesgo su credibilidad y rol de acelerador de la sostenibilidad. Una definici\u00f3n com\u00fanmente aceptada de inversi\u00f3n de impacto hace referencia a aquella que \u201cintencionalmente busca un impacto social o medioambiental medible, adem\u00e1s de un retorno financiero\u201d.
