This week I had the privilege of meeting with two inspirational leaders who are influential in both climate action and sustainable investment, Al Gore and David Blood of Generation Investment Management. We discussed a range of pressing issues regarding climate and the need for sustainable investment.
Al was disparaging of fossil fuel company tactics “The fossil fuel companies are better at capturing politicians than emissions”, but positive about the future “We are at the start of a sustainability revolution with the scale of the industrial revolution coupled with the speed of the digital revolution”.
It’s crystal clear that investing ethically is not just about financial returns, but also about making a positive impact on the world around us.
