Impact Business
Définition
One impact business is a company whose main objective is to generate a positive impact on society or the environment while being economically viable.

By investing in solutions to global problems such as climate change, poverty or social inclusion, these businesses play a key role in the transformation towards a more responsible and sustainable economy.
