It is an honor and great privilege to be asked to serve on the Board of Directors for Conscious Capitalism Inc. (CCI) and to be invited to participate in the Executive Committee of the organisation. The following is an edited extract from an article on the CCI website describing the history of Conscious Capitalism and CCI: “The term #ConsciousCapitalism has its roots in a quote from Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist and founder of the Grameen Bank, which pioneered microloans to poor village entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. In a 1995 Atlantic article, Yunus cited his bank as an example of a new capitalism, calling it a “socially conscious capitalist enterprise.” In 2007, Raj Sisodia, Jagdish Sheth, and David Wolfe published Firms of Endearment. Later that year, John Mackey published a white paper titled Conscious Capitalism: Creating a New Paradigm for Business. In Febuary of 2008 John Mackey (The CEO and co-founder of WholeFoods Market) hosted a retreat to discuss the concept of Conscious Capitalism and the result was the first Catalyzing Conscious Capitalism Summit in October 2008, an event that has since grown into the CEO Summit. Today CCI supports more than 40 chapters in 14 countries. In 2013, #ConsciousCapitalism was popularized by John Mackey , co-founder of Whole Foods Market, and Raj Sisodia, a business professor, who co-authored the book "Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business," which outlined the concept of running a business with a greater purpose, focusing on stakeholders, and incorporating social responsibility beyond just profit maximization; essentially redefining capitalism with a more ethical approach. In 2013, I read Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business. That book changed my life. I had been the Group CEO of The Massy Group for 3 years and was searching for something to bring our work on the vision for the Group and corporate and business unit strategy to life. #ConsciousCapitalism brought it all together. Somewhere in my heart, I always felt that operating a company with selfless, empathetic leadership that served a higher purpose and unleashed the true potential in people could create the most powerful working environment where everyone is valued and respected and produced extraordinary results. And there it was in black and white, the blueprint for how this could be done, with 10-year data support for the conclusion that companies who operate according to this paradigm financially outperform their peers, not by a little but by a significant margin. I had all the proof I needed to enrol our board and our leadership team to pursue being a conscious company. Well … that was a lot more easily said than done. The journey took us several years but we finally hit stride around 2018. More on that story and our project to scale #ConsciousCapitalism in future weekly posts. Stay tuned …

Thank you, Frank Aswani for the kind words. This year, the AVPA Impact Investing fellowship will continue our deep collaboration with Oxford University and tap Oxford Impact faculty from one of the world’s largest and longest running Impact Investing executive education programme—over a decade reaching senior executives from 90 countries. (Frank Aswani, thanks for being part of our Oxford Impact faculty!) “Learning expands great souls” Namibian proverb Our goal in the Fellowship is to provide best practice about impact investing financial tools from entry to exit, and just as important, we help fellows use savvy, ethical capital as soulful leaders.  Celebrate Africa as Cradle of Civilisation and How It Shapes Impact Investing Innovations Worldwide Just as Africa has been the cradle of civilisation for 7 million years, today the continent offers the world its own impact investment culture and opportunities for innovation. The fellowship will examine how Africa is shaping impact investing in Asia and the Americas. Focus on Natural and Cultural Capital and Climate Finance By the Numbers Africa is home to: 30 percent of the world’s mineral reserves.  8 percent of the world’s natural gas.  12 percent of the world’s oil reserves.   40 percent of the world’s gold.  90 percent of its chromium and platinum and the largest reserves of cobalt, diamonds, platinum and uranium.  65 percent of the world’s arable land.  10 percent of the planet’s internal renewable fresh water source. 50 percent of total wealth in Africa is from natural capital.  70 percent of people living in sub-Saharan Africa depend on forests and woodlands for their livelihoods. And... And according to UNDP, an estimated US$195 billion is lost annually through illicit financial flows, illegal mining, illegal logging, the illegal trade in wildlife, unregulated fishing and environmental degradation and loss. Lives are lost to climate change through drought, famine, flooding, and migration to escape these disasters. Theory+Practice+Action To address these opportunities and challenges, we will use the Action Investing team exercises to enable fellows to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-life, real time problems. Working with AVPA Impact Fellow Dr. Ayoka Wiles Wiles, Open Society Division Director Culture/Arts, Ojoma Ochai teams of fellows will explore investment strategies in promoting Africa Creative Economies and dive deep into opportunities to use capital to support the Nigerian Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, a UNESCO site intended to preserve indigenous culture, create sustainable jobs, and develop sustainable ecotourism. Fellows will also have team exercises in applying investment strategies in regenerative agriculture and climate finance.  Look forward to seeing our Fellows on this great adventure. Warm wishes, Gayle Gayle Peterson Programme Director Oxford Impact Investing and Oxford Social Finance AVPA Impact Investing Fellowship
