Join BUFDG and RINU for an insightful webinar featuring Snowball on the topic of Impact Education: Navigating the Landscape of Impact Investing for Universities. This session will explore the critical distinctions between ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and impact investing, focusing on why this differentiation matters for educational institutions. Through real-world case studies, Snowball will demonstrate the role of impact investing in driving meaningful social and environmental change, and how universities can leverage these strategies to align their financial goals with their values. Ideal for finance leaders, endowment managers and those working in treasury in a Higher Education setting, this webinar will provide practical insights and tools to integrate impact investment principles into university portfolios.
During the session, you will hear about the types of impact solutions which university capital can support through impact investing. Examples like Aristata Capital - a systemic solution which strengthens legal tools that marginalised communities can use to seek justice and equity, eFishery - an impact unicorn making gender equity a reality for over 5000 women farmers in Indonesia and beyond, and Women in Safe Homes Fund - safe homes for women and their children.
