Unlocking the power of impact investing in Asia and the Pacific
May 13, 2013

At Synergy we have long recognized that there is much more potential for social entrepreneurs to contribute to impact and development in the Asia Pacific region than is being tapped into. This realization, in fact, was the inspiration behind the founding of Synergy Social Ventures and our mission to help to unleash this potential.

In the past year we have seen increasing dialogue on this topic in the social sector including among organizations such as the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. UNESCAP recently released a new publication titled "From corporate responsibility to corporate sustainability: Moving the agenda forward in Asia and the Pacific". In chapter III of this publication, Synergy's Jana Svedova takes a closer look at trends and issues related to impact investment and its importance in the Asia-Pacific region.
