Your Money Matters

Who's leading and who's lagging behind when it comes to ethical leadership in New Zealand?

What’s the state of business ethics in New Zealand, and how this can be raised?

As part of celebrating Ethical Investment Week, Money Matters is offering a fascinating interview with Jane Arnott, Director of The Ethics Conversation. We spent an in-depth hour going into detail on our work together for the NZX Corporate Governance Review, Jane’s excellent research report titled ‘Codes vs Commitment: An Assessment of the Codes of Ethics of the NZX50’ and our respective experience over several decades of promoting ethical leadership.

Jane’s level of scrutiny will be of great interest to you as a wise investor. Her insights are very eye-opening and I'm grateful for Jane’s time and effort. Jane has also included her full ‘Codes vs Commitment’ report as an additional benefit to everyone who registers to listen to the interview. This means you'll be able to take the time to see all of her insights for yourself. We are also providing a full transcript of the interview and our Ethical Leadership presentation to the NZX.

Our first episode features an interview with a new Money Matters client, Mark. Together, Rodger and Mark explore the why, what and how of the ethical investment journey. From Mark’s motivations, through to his ethical investment plan and portfolio provided by Money Matters. Mark shares his experience of 15 years working with various advisers as he aimed to avoid greenwashing, make money and make a difference. He describes how working with Money Matters has been “a completely different experience and worlds apart from our experience to date”.
