Matters Arising

G8 Social Impact Investment Taskforce

The Social Investment Advisor provided an update on the G8 Social Impact Investment Taskforce following the Chairman of the Policy & Resources Committee’s appointment as a member of the UK’s Advisory Board to this taskforce. She noted that the task force had met twice to date, in Washington and in London and the National Advisory Board was scheduled to meet next in January 2014. She added that the UK National Advisory Group which informs the task force is focusing on two areas:  advantages of different corporate forms for social enterprises and how social enterprises can to identify and secure a larger share of public contracts by social enterprises. She noted that the task force had appointed four sub groups and had also adopted a work plan. She concluded by noting the task force would meet in September 2014 to finalise its findings. The Chairman thanked the Social Investment Advisor for her update and requested that copies of the task force’s meeting minutes be provided to the Board when these became available.
