In an article written for the 10th anniversary of the Instituto para o Desenvolvimento do Investimento Social (Institute for the Development of Social Investment – IDIS), Chairman and President Marcos Kisil explains how the last decade was important in establishing new insights on the role of private social investment.

‘Companies have made progress in designing social investment as part of their commitments to sustainability and social responsibility. Families with resources have converted their welfare and paternalistic actions into socio-environmental development actions, incorporating different generations and new ways of professional management,’ writes Kisil.
