Abstract

Recently, impact investment has attracted attention all over the world. This is intended to effectively solve problems by combining private capital and various financial techniques with social and environmental needs, as it is recognized that it is difficult to solve social and environmental problems. Impact investment means a mixture of financial, social, and environmental aspects. This refers to an investment focused on such a blended value, through which it simultaneously achieves financial and social values such as return on investment. The purpose of this study is to study whether impact investment, which has become a new issue, is actually applicable in Korea. This study first considers the concept and method of impact investment, and a prior study on social enterprises and impact investment that pursue social values. In particular, after analyzing in detail the social performance-related bonds (SIB) and operational cases, we intend to explore the possible applicability of impact investment to Korea. The results and implications of this study are, first, changes in the government's attitude toward impact finance. The government should entrust innovative public works to market-proven service providers to enhance the professionalism and efficiency of public service projects. Second, the legal system must innovate. Impact investment should provide an institutional foundation to pursue social problem solving simultaneously, not maximizing financial performance. Third, when investing in public works in the private sector, impact investment must clearly demand social performance and clarify the evaluation accordingly. The project execution process should create an impact environment that is more free and active.

최근에 임팩트투자가 전 세계에서 주목을 받고 있다. 이는 사회·환경적 문제 해결이 어렵다는 인식함에 따라 민간 자본과 다양한 금융기법을 사회·환경적 니즈와 결합하여 문제를 효과적으로 해결하려 하는 데에 있다. 임팩트투자란 본래 재무적·사회적·환경적 측면이 혼합되어 있다는 믿음 하에서, 이러한 혼합가치(blended value)에 초점을 맞춘 투자를 말하며, 이를 통해 투자수익률 등의 재무적 가치와 사회적 가치를 동시에 달성하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구는 새로운 임팩트투자의 개념과 방법, 그리고 사회적 가치를 추구하는 사회적기업과 임팩트 투자에 대한 선행연구를 고찰한다. 특히, 사회성과연계채권(SIB)과 운영 사례에 대한 구체적으로 분석한 후, 임팩트투자의 한국 적용가능성 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 본 연구결과 및 시사점은 먼저, 임팩트금융에 대한 정부 태도의 변화이다. 정부는 혁신적 공공사업을 시장에서 검증받은 서비스 제공업자에 맡겨 공공 서비스사업의 전문성과 효율성을 제고 해야 한다. 둘째, 법적 제도가 혁신해야 한다. 임팩트투자는 재무적 성과의 극대화가 아니라 사회적 문제 해결을 동시에 추구하도록 제도적 기반을 마련해야 한다. 셋째, 임팩트투자는 민간에 공공사업을 위탁할 때, 사회적 성과를 분명하게 요구하고, 그리고 이에 따른 평가를 명확히 해야 하며, 나아가서 사업수행 과정은 더 자유롭고 활동할 수 있도록 임팩트 환경을 조성해야 한다.
