Delighted to hear from JC Impact Investing (Jäderberg & Cie. Group), Peter Jäderberg & Per Ståhl about their investment strategies, especially the JC Sandalwood project – showcasing the potential of impact investing.
As always, valued insights from Deirdre Mortell at Rethink Ireland on #socialimpact. Kudos to Aoibheann O'Brien of FoodCloud on their inspiring initiatives in food waste reduction and circularity. Congrats on your recent EI funding.
The forest tour, in Glen of the Downs, led by the insightful Anke Heydenreich was enlightening. Thanks to foresters Aideen O'Byrne @Fred Coombe, and Mark Peters for sharing their knowledge on forestry and biodiversity. The drive to expand forest cover while harmonising it with sustainable construction resources in Ireland is noteworthy.
System-level collaboration is essential for Ireland's impact investing growth. With global momentum, look forward to forging collaborations to boost impact investing in Ireland.
