Dear All
It is quite interesting to note about the addition of positive social impact in 3-D investment. The concept posted at Social Edge is as follows:
"3-D investing, or investing which simultaneously assesses three dimensions, sees rational institutional and retail investors trading off risk and return for positive social impact."...by Mr. Rod.
Self reflections on this key topic are as follows:

Dear Mr. Rod
The concept of 3-D investment is welcome and certainly works with wonders. The concept of Business to Business (B2B)works only for the benefit of the Investors or the Managers. This may work for short period and certainly looses the long term benefits. This concept is slowly moving towards the Business to People (B2P)as business can only be done with people. It means the third dimension of investment i.e. positive social impact has become tag word and become priority at the time of project planning itself. In this connection, the message reflects as:
1. Yes, the hard-edged investors certainly accepts for the concept of adding
positive social impact as their contribution goes to the people and gets
good long term benefits.
2. Yes, there exists several tangible examples in the world and in India. The
one who is good at Corp[orate Social Responsibility (CSR), i.e. contributing
for the community development gets priority for investment and as well as to
business with good branding.
3. Every one is part of the community and taken something from it for
developing themselves as producer or investor. Then it becomes
irresponsibility for them to contribute back to the development of
community. This is seen in most of the Corporate Sector where the Corporate
and its Employees do extend lot of support to the people with participation.
Now a day t has become part of their life and media play significant role in
motivating others to follow.
4. Initiation is going on in this direction and certainly,things will be netter
for working towards positive social impact by all the stallholders.
5. Yes, clarity is required for the investors about the need and ways of
creating positive social impact. This can be circulate or informed at at the
time of investment itself. Hope the investors can understand the philosophy
and respond positively towards the 3-D mode of investment.
The Acts, Conventions and Policies all over the world agreed for the paradigm shift of working for the positive social impact from charity to welfare to developmental to human rights. Certainly this is a welcome step for moving towards 3-D Investment.
Looking forward...
