There is a strong appetite in the investment community right now for sustainable funds to invest in but does that investment lead to sustainable outcomes, and also important – is it a sound investment?
I read a couple of fascinating articles recently by Ken Pucker which addresses these questions so I invited him to come on the podcast to talk this through. Ken is the former COO of Timberland, is an Advisory Director at Berkshire Partners, and is a Senior Lecturer at the Fletcher School at Tufts University.
The two articles of Ken’s that I read were:
- The Trillion Dollar Fantasy: Linking ESG Investing with Planetary Impact and
- Heroic Accounting
You should check them out.
This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and as always, I learned loads, I hope you do too.
