Insights from the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) Asia Impact Forum
Suraj Kripalani, CEO & Founder of BonBillo, had the opportunity to attend the GIIN Asia Impact Forum in Singapore. The event offered a platform to connect with fellow impact investors dedicated to areas like climate, healthcare, financial inclusion, food systems, community empowerment, and diversity.
Here are his key takeaways from the forum:
- Commercial Returns and Impact - Achieving market returns is crucial for scaling the impact investing industry, ensuring lasting and sustainable impact.
- High Impact Integrity - Consistent measurement and management of social and environmental impact are essential. Utilizing tools like IRIS+ and Project Frame can aid in maintaining integrity.
- Clarity and Stakeholder Alignment - Develop a clear investment philosophy in collaboration with stakeholders. Define objectives, break them into actionable steps, and remain flexible to learn from each investment.
- Innovation in Climate Impact - Innovations in sustainable energy transition are creating unicorns in clean energy, energy efficiency, and resilient supply chains.
- Rapid Growth of Embedded Finance - This trend is offering contextual solutions that reduce risk. For instance, Arya, India’s largest grain commerce platform, helps farmers with local storage, better pricing, and embedded financing.
- Healthcare Challenges and Opportunities - Addressing the payor system, talent shortages, and rural care access is critical. Patient-centric solutions like HealthifyMe empower individuals to manage their health effectively.
- Sustainable Food Systems - Empowering farmers with advisory services, technology, financing, insurance, local warehouses and connecting them to end customers can lead to sustainable practices, higher yields and incomes, lower wastage and better pricing with reduced risk.
These insights highlight the dynamic interplay of innovation and impact across various sectors, driving forward meaningful change.
