Inside Impact Investing

COVID-19 and the subsequent social and economic crises have underlined once more that we must urgently address the severe shortcomings in our present-day economies and societies. In a series of articles and podcasts Hans Stegeman, Chief Investment Strategist at Triodos Investment Management, explores the contours of a future-proof economy, and the ways to get there.

Investors play a crucial role in the transition to a new economy, providing the capital needed to realise real and profound change. The investment choices they make can have a positive impact on our planet and on society, and at the same time safeguard their chances of solid long-term investment returns.

In this third episode, Hans Stegeman and Sandrine Dixson-Declève, co-president of the Club of Rome and co-author of the book "Quel monde pour demain", discuss the tools we have to bring about a system change and the role of the financial sector therein:

• What are the main trends in public and private investment, and what are the main gaps in the investment landscape
• Are we doing enough; European Green Deal, Bidens investment plan in the US
• How does regulation contribute to building a sustainable economy
• How can we transition from doing ‘less bad’ to regenerative/positive investments
