---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laurie Quan <blueturnproductions@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 12:05 PM Subject: Technical Product Manager To: Social Enterprise Jobs <social-enterprise-jobs@googlegroups.com> The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to increasing the scale and effectiveness of impact investing globally. Impact investments are direct investments, including those into funds, made with the intention of generating social & environmental impact and a financial return. Depending on the circumstances, impact investments produce financial returns that can range from below market to market-rate and include opportunities in both emerging and developed markets. The GIIN addresses systemic barriers to effective impact investing by building critical infrastructure and developing activities, education, and research that attract more investment capital to poverty alleviation and environmental solutions. The Impact Reporting and Investment Standards (IRIS) initiative is one of the GIIN’s four core program areas. IRIS provides a catalogue of terms and definitions that can be used to describe the social, environmental, and financial performance of an organization.
