Past Editions
A periodic publication delving into the social impact sphere—unpacking, analyzing, and sharing diverse perspectives on both local and global systems.
Edition 3
Is foreign aid a lost cause? Is there a way to keep businesses accountable for their sustainability practices (or lack of)? How do we, as consumers, fall victim to the “fast fashion” that accelerates environmental degradation? Continue on to our 3rd edition of The Impact Update to explore these questions alongside our writers.
Edition 2
Our 2nd edition of The Impact Update features an inside look into the work that one of our Initiatives teams is doing for YAQUA, a Peruvian social enterprise that aims to tackle the region’s water crisis. The line-up of topics also includes a discussion of the need for internationalism and the sequel to our first piece on artificial intelligence in developing countries.

At its core, impact investing is a rejection of the assumption that profit and positive social impact are inherently separate and that choosing one necessarily results in a trade-off.
Together, we create impact.
