This course goes beyond making a superficial business case for social impact and provides examples and an approach on how to do it for your organization.

Great course; very insightful look into how business and other organizations can effect positive social impact in the course of achieving their objectives and completing routines.

impact investing

I personally found the Impact Investing portion fairly niche and a little harder to follow.

Super course with a very good dive into all the key aspects of impact investing Great course, except for module 4 witch has a very different style, excessively technical for people starting on the subject (would trade for the EVPA kind of approach to impact investing)Still I would defenetly recommend the course for people that want to start to understand more on social impact.

Excellent overview of social impact investing.

Great course with broad concept of social impact and impact investing So insightful and worth it!
