Responsible investment, or investment practices and strategies that consider environmental and societal outcomes, has become an important area of focus for Latin America’s private capital industry. LAVCA’s work in this area addresses both Environmental, Social and Governance practices by traditional private capital investors (ESG), as well as impact funds that seek a balance of positive social, environmental, and financial returns. Global LPs are an important driver of change and are key partners to LAVCA’s Responsible Investment agenda.
