Impact Investing Edition of The Philanthropist Magazine

Fourfold and elea collaborated on a special edition of The Philanthropist Magazine, a quarterly publication for the Swiss philanthropy and finance community, on the theme of impact investing. This aims to appeal to the sector to integrate entrepreneurial thinking and approaches into their fundraising strategies, as a complement to classic grantmaking.

In this issue, Fourfold Founder Thomas Schmidheiny and elea Founder Peter Wuffli sit down for an interview with the editors Susanne Sugimoto and Takashi Sugimoto share experiences from their professional career that they bring into their philanthropy. Thomas Schmidheiny says: “Everything we do should be sustainable. In entrepreneurship, this is key. The same goes for philanthropy. Sustainability must not be understood in isolation for individual aspects; we must consider it holistically.”
