Does sustainable investing work? A big thank you to Tom Gosling for hosting Edward Mason in your recent series to discuss the importance of investor ambition and the role of capital allocation, engagement and public policy advocacy in helping to deliver climate impact. 🎧 Curious to learn more?

As part of my project with Harald Walkate and the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) on the question "Does Sustainable Investing Work?" we're following up with industry practitioners and academics to get their reactions to what we wrote in a series of half hour interviews. The first of these comes from Edward Mason, Partner and Head of Engagement at Generation Investment Management who takes a more optimistic and ambitious view than Harald and me of the role of the investment industry in enabling the climate transition. You can watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/e94pH8kt The whole point of this project is to provoke debate and discussion to help us all figure out what works so that we do that rather than what doesn't. Which is why we've purposefully chosen interviewees who we think will have a diverse range of views, some aligned with our own and some not. I look forward to sharing more over the coming months. #responsibleinvesting #sustainableinvesting #responsiblecapitalism
