Impact Washing: The Great Risk to Growing the Impact Investing Industry

As more and more capital is deployed into impact investments, particularly from large mainstream asset managers, there is a growing fear that the impact investing label is being abused and the intentionality of true impact could get diluted or lost within the noise.
