It has been roughly a decade since the concept of "impact investing" first arrived in Japan.
Amid uncertainty and turmoil, social issues continue to emerge, one after another.
Born to mend the fractures in our society and the flaws in its structures,
the idea of impact is now expanding at every level—government, markets, and everyday life.
This current shows no sign of stopping; impact will, in time, sweep across the world.

The past ten years were carved out by pioneers—driven by a deep unease with capitalism as it stands.
Now, on the ground they broke, a turning point is upon us:
an era of joining hands, where dialogue and practice can take root and sprout.

What the world of impact needs now, we believe, is an entry point.
Opening windows for dialogue, facing challenges with sincerity, and never ceasing to search for answers—
this is the prescription for the world ahead.
In the world of impact, there are no right answers. That is precisely why we must talk, and think, together.

With the pioneers who have led this field.
With the entrepreneurs and innovators who aspire to impact.
And with you—who feel that something is off in our capitalist society, and who believe in what impact can become.

A single day to shift impact one step further into the future:
this is IMPACT SHIFT.
