A Quick Guide To Responsible Banking and Investing

Where an organisation’s money is banked, saved and invested can have a significant environmental and social impact, but is often not considered within the area of sustainability management.  Sign up this lunch time webinar run by PECT’s green business accreditation programme, Investors in the Environment, to hear from Dan Sherrard-Smith, Founder & CEO of MyMotherTree.com, the world’s first money carbon calculator, and Emily Petersen, Portfolio Director with a focus on Sustainability and Impact at Cazenove Capital, who will cover the following:

 

– what is sustainable finance and why is it important to meet your ambitions

– how to work out what good looks like in terms of your existing providers

– what makes a great responsible finance policy

– top tips to create change.
