In this episode of Turbo Impact, Paul Hailey, Head of Impact & ESG at responsAbility Investments AG, joins host Kenny Chen to unpack how impact investing works in practice across some of the world’s fastest-growing markets. Drawing on responsAbility’s two decades as a specialist impact investor, Paul explains how the firm builds its strategies around essential needs in emerging economies and why these markets offer both meaningful impact potential and strong long-term returns.
He shares how responsAbility designs its impact strategy around intentionality and contribution, and why disciplined engagement during the holding period is a core driver of impact value creation. Paul also explains the role blended finance now plays in expanding access to capital across emerging markets that have historically lacked sufficient investment. Along the way, he reflects on measurement challenges, the risk of impact washing, and the levers he believes will define the next decade of scaled impact.
