It is said that the greatest environmental and social impact an investor can make is in a direct investment involving small to medium size businesses that are well managed and mission driven. In this actionable webinar, the presenters will provide the audience with practical guidance on how an ESG agenda can be accelerated and make a real impact through the investment of private equity place-based investments in Philadelphia.

In Philadelphia today there are 10 investable impact investment funds that focus on everything from affordable housing, healthy food, recidivism, life sciences to minority owned businesses. Speakers Jackie Rantanen and John Moore will discuss the due diligence necessary to select, implement and monitor place-based investments. We will also explore the spectrum of impact investing and why allocating dollars to private equity can be the most meaningful investment an investor can make.
