Advancing health equity through place-based impact investing

Place-based impact investing is gaining momentum as a powerful strategy to unlock capital at scale to address public health outcomes. Institutional investors, particularly Local Government Pension Scheme funds, are increasingly integrating environmental, social, and community outcomes alongside financial returns, and seeking investment opportunities that deliver ‘local’ impact. The Impact Investing Institute has been instrumental in these developments, providing thought leadership and fostering connections between places, investors, and communities to support the growth of place-based impact investing.

Panellists will discuss innovative approaches and best practice for aligning investment strategies with the unique needs and priorities of local communities, ensuring that investments deliver improvements in public health alongside financial returns.
