The B Corp movement should feel especially relevant for financial services, where trust and transparency are integral suggest Octopus Investments.
Whether you're a financial adviser guiding a client through an economic downturn, an institutional investor committing capital to a fund, or an investor investing through a platform, the whole industry relies on trust.
Yet trust and transparency have not always been associated with our industry. In fact, I often see financial services ranked among the least trusted industries by consumers globally.
This is something we should strive to change.
Financial services is an industry that influences society, both in terms of customers and in deciding where money is directed and how effectively it is used.
The industry has an enormous impact on people's lives and the planet, and consequently we have a duty to people and planet.
This is why we should be encouraging frameworks like B Corp to drive better, more transparent business.
