An Update On the Impact Investing Policy Collaborative

The Impact Investing Policy Collaborative (IIPC), in it's five year lifetime, had a profound effect on the policies and policy-making process and provisions for impact investing. It encouraged investment and policy change to influence socioeconomic ventures in a positive way, with a heavy hitter including the US Department of labor adjusting its policies on pension funds. From it's birth, IIPC continued to grow and influence investors positively towards a goal of making the world a better place, and a better place to invest. They encourage government participation as well, hoping to set forward a never before seen precedent.

Although the IIPC will no longer work under the same name, its ideals live on through other related business ventures such as the Pacific Community Ventures and the Initiative for Responsible Investment and will continue to work towards making the world better through government intervention and impact investing, one investment at a time.
