Impact investing
– so how does it work?

Impact investments are investments made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. Impact investments can be made in both emerging and developed markets, and target a range of returns from below market to market rate, depending on investors' strategic goals.  The growing impact investment market provides capital to address the world’s most pressing challenges in sectors such as sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, conservation, microfinance, and affordable and accessible basic services including housing, healthcare, and education.

Rainer Portrait

Dr. Rainer Hönig

After spending two decades working in Engineering, Business- and Program Management roles for Multinationals in the Aerospace, Energy and Marine sector I have a pretty good idea what’s truly needed for the transition towards a world of sustainable energy and mobility - and it’s not business as usual. It’s the power of disruptive technologies and innovative business models paired with passionate leadership and social responsibility. I’m happily married and father of two adult kids. My family and I live in Berlin, Germany.
