SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT
In July 2009, a group of investors and partners associated with the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), an organisation dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and scale of impact investing, came together to discuss potential platforms and market infrastructure that could address inefficiencies in the impact investing market.
Despite a growing number of impact-focused funds across geographies, asset classes, and sectors, members of the impact investing community continued to experience difficulty connecting to like-minded funds, investors and advisors. To help address this fragmentation, the group conceived of an online search tool to connect members of the impact investing community with one another through a single platform that would permit more efficient networking and communication.
Development of ImpactBase was initiatited by Imprint Capital Advisors and RSF Social Finance in 2009. In early 2010, the project was transitioned to the GIIN. As part of its mission, the GIIN promotes industry-wide infrastructure that enables broader and more efficient impact investing. ImpactBase is critical market infrastructure that helps to scale impact investing for social and environmental good.
Fund managers were first asked to participate in Q4 of 2010, and ImpactBase launched to subscribers on 9 February 2011.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Phatisa’s social responsibility initiatives prioritise child-centred, needs-driven and sustainable development of communities.
We support basic needs, education and skills enhancement programmes. Conserving the environment and fostering arts and culture are also critical to our social investment mix.
Phatisa’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities have five main objectives:
- Improving children’s and communities' quality of life.
- Fostering a spirit of cooperation and partnership with all stakeholders.
- Enhancing the social and economic wellbeing of society by creating opportunities.
- Leading by example and establishing best practice.
- Encouraging voluntary employee involvement.
The ultimate goal of Phatisa’s CSR initiative is to impact on urgent development needs, in sustainable and responsible ways.
One of the long term legacies of the HIV/Aids pandemic is the many children left orphaned and vulnerable when their parents have passed away. Nearly one third of Lesotho’s people are infected with HIV/Aids - the third highest rate in the world. There are around 180 000 orphans in a country of 1.8 million. As their family units disintegrate, these children have little hope for the future. In this time of great need, Phatisa continues to support Sentebale.Founded by Prince Harry and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso to help the forgotten victims of poverty and the HIV/Aids epidemic ravaging this small mountain kingdom, Sentebale aims to bring life, hope and opportunity to orphaned and vulnerable children in Lesotho. Phatisa believes that everyone can make a very real difference to the lives of these children.
