From www.claytonutz.com: Investors are increasingly adopting impact investing strategies that intentionally generate positive societal and environmental outcomes alongside financial returns, distinguishing them from traditional and ESG investing approaches.

The impact investing market has exceeded USD $1.5 trillion globally, with significant growth noted in Australia, where it is projected to rise from $78 billion in 2023 to around $500 billion by 2025.

The Australian Government supports this trend, offering initiatives like the Social Enterprise Development Initiative to facilitate impact investments.
