Mini-Masterclass: Are banks doing enough when it comes to sustainable investments?
Our work with wealth holders tells us that banks and wealth advisers are important advisers and gate-keepers when it comes to investing with impact. At this Mini-Masterclass, Evita Zanuso, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Katapult Foundation and Lead at Katapult Academy welcomed Andrew Douglas and Francesca Spoerry from University of Zurich Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth to share with us their findings from their report.
Mini-Masterclass: Why ESG matters if you care about impact
Most impact investors are focused on companies’ products and services and their positive outcomes. But focusing on outcomes is not enough, how a company manages its operations from recruitment process, employee management, supply chain to emissions and data management can also have an impact. This is what Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is focused on.
