Did you know that 1 in every $4 is invested using socially responsible strategies? According to the Global Impact Investing Network, 95% of impact investors report that their financial returns are in-line or in excess of their expectations. Find out more about what conscious investing looks like in this week's episode, featuring Jessica Droste Yagan, the CEO of Impact Engine. Impact Engine is an investment firm that manages funds to invest in for-profit, positive-impact businesses. Previously, Jessica led the creation of sustainable supply chains for McDonald’s. She serves on a number of Boards of socially-oriented companies and nonprofits in the Chicago area, and has committed her personal portfolio to impact investments."Capitalism has created a beautiful, elegant system. It brings together people, and it's had positive impacts in the world. But all we demand of our system is profit and money, supply and demand," says Jessica. "The heart of capitalism can work for many different dimensions, and we're really starting to see it. As investors we can say: yes, I want to make money, but I demand that you do it in a way that's aligned with my values or that is solving an important problem."For more on the podcast, see the Beyond Capital Podcast website.
