Valuation Summit
"Hu" brings transparency to responsible investing
Responsible and sustainable investment has struggled to move #beyondcarbon - creating a need for the Human impact unit (Hu). The Hu puts human impact at the center of impact and sustainability valuations, allowing projects as different as water reclamation and poverty reduction to be directly compared using the same language and metrics.
The Hu Valuation Summit brings together responsible, sustainable, or impact startups, non-profits, proposals, collaborations, and initiatives; impact and responsible investors; and analytical experts to debate the value versus investment potential for some of the most innovative corporate responsibility, sustainable, or impact efforts from around the world – empowering informed investment in those with the greatest positive Human impact.
Join this groundbreaking Hu Valuation Summit in the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates this June in Des Moines, Iowa, as it maximizes informed exposure to some of the biggest corporate responsibility or sustainability opportunities for making truly impactful investments in our future.
Key Details:
-
3 Days of Hu valuation roundtables
-
3 Inspiring Keynote speakers
-
12 investable corporate responsibility or sustainability initiatives to evaluate
-
18 hours of corporate responsibility or sustainability investment-focused programming and skill building
