Impact Investment is a global movement to optimize private capital and contribute to solving social and environmental issues the world faces. The tiia (Taiwan Impact Investment Association) is all set to 1. Attract and mobilize market capital in the pursuit of returns while substantiating SDGs. 2. Align development efforts for a sound Impact Investment ecosystem in Taiwan that connects peers the world over. 影響力投資意在解決日趨嚴重的環境及社會問題，同時追求投資利潤。這是一場全球的金融運動，志在重塑資本主義，引領私人資本，達成公共利益。 台灣影響力投資協會希望能接軌國際、整合國內產官學研的資源，協力推動台灣影響力投資⽣態體系之健全發展，共創永續社會。
