Trees from the Forest: PFAS cleanup, Childcare Deserts & Critical Minerals with Claudia Kwan of NorthStar Impact Funds

I always enjoy my conversations with the team at NorthStar Impact Funds, and this interview with Claudia Kwan is no exception. Claudia has a thoughtful and passionate perspective on impact investing - it’s not about ticking boxes or keeping up appearances, it’s about solving real-world problems by investing in innovative companies offering practical, viable solutions. We get to the heart of Impact Investing, which fundamentally is about creating positive impact whilst making an investment return. Refer Impact case study on SciDev here
