African American Philanthropy Summit Highlights: ESG in Philanthropy

Are we setting investment standards as a driver for corporate giving? Are we considering the sustainability and social impact of our investments?

ESG (environmental, social and governance) treats philanthropy not just as a donation, but as a foundation for a new line of sustainable business. Merging investment and impact efforts can streamline strategy and allows philanthropists/donors greater freedom and flexibility to test innovative ways to achieve a financial return as they seek impact.
