In the latest episode of CC Pod, Vijay Rajendran had an insightful conversation with Zach Stein, Co-founder of Carbon Collective. Zach discussed the mission of Carbon Collective to provide curated options in sustainable investing.

Carbon Collective is a fresh player in the financial industry, offering sustainable retirement accounts for businesses. Before this venture, Stein was the CEO and co-founder of Osmo Systems, an agrotech startup that provided affordable monitoring and control systems to hydroponic and aquaculture farmers.

Stein and his co-founder, James, who have known each other since childhood, started Carbon Collective with a vision to build better tools that would enable individuals to take collective action against climate change.

Rather than following a traditional model, they have created a simplified, jargon-free system that empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their investments. It's an approach that has proved controversial in some quarters, but Stein firmly believes in its potential to disrupt the industry.

Looking to the future, Stein is optimistic. If Carbon Collective succeeds, he sees a world where sustainable investing becomes the norm, fossil fuel investments shrink, and the narrative of the financial industry shifts towards sustainability.
