Abstract
Impact investing has emerged as a significant investment approach that aims to generate financial returns while creating measurable social and environmental impact. This paper examines the historical evolution of impact investing, tracing its roots from ethical and socially responsible investing to its current role in promoting sustainable development. The study highlights key milestones such as the rise of microfinance, the formalization of the concept in the early 2000s, and the influence of global initiatives like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The paper also discusses the growth of impact investing globally and its relevance in addressing challenges such as poverty, climate change, and financial inclusion. The findings suggest that impact investing has become an important tool for aligning capital markets with long-term societal goals.
