Financial markets and the concept of capitalism have been with us for a long time. Until recently, the profit motive at the heart of the capitalist economy has often been seen as the pursuit of financial gains at the cost of all else. Yet in the right hands, the desire to make money can also be a powerful mechanism to deal with problems such as climate change, plastic waste and deforestation.
We believe that using the profit motive to effect major change is a good thing. Only those companies that take sustainability seriously today will be making money tomorrow. But the world needs to wake up to the new reality. To explain how, we have produced a new magazine, called SIX., designed to shake up preconceived ideas about sustainable investing. We believe it will surprise you, and open your eyes to new ways of looking at sustainable investments.
