How to create transformative gender impact through your investment process

Virginia Schippers July 1, 2022

Calling all investors!  Criterion Institute and CARE Enterprises are excited to show investors how to apply simple methods and tools to their standard investment process in order to create transformative gender impact across all of their investments. Participants will dive into Criterion’s framework for analyzing power dynamics and show how to remedy inequalities through investment decisions. CARE Enterprises will facilitate exercises based on their gender investment framework and innovative technical assistance provision, which focuses on gender equity in investee companies’ business models and workplaces. All will be demonstrated through interactive exercises – participants will spend more time on their feet and in groups than sitting and listening to talking heads!
