Another exciting partnership for us in the sustainability space this week... we are joining forces with ENGIE Factory, the startup studio of ENGIE Group, to invest in a venture which will bridge the financing gap in conservation projects through the use of carbon credits. By leveraging emerging technology to identify and evaluate conservation efforts globally, the venture will enable investments into these projects, helping address the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges while delivering attractive returns for investors. #Sustainability is one of our four high-conviction themes at SC Ventures by Standard Chartered — investing in conservation is not only a societal imperative but also a smart business decision.

#Greenwashing has become a major concern in recent years. Yet, in this capitalistic world, #marketing is essential to generate the financial resources needed to make a difference. So, where does the balance lie for green initiatives? Unfortunately, there is no short answer. The appropriate balance varies depending on one's position in the pipeline to deliver impact. The movement towards a #sustainable world involves many different parties in society, each with distinct goals and responsibilities to transform the way we live. Consequently, the way we communicate our projects must also vary. However, one thing is certain: neither being overly conservative nor aggressive in communications will help us meet our sustainability targets. While everyone detests greenwashing, being excessively humble won't suffice either. It has been a year since I joined Relocalize in the #cleantech industry. This blog post summarizes one of the most significant #lessons from my transition from the non-profit sector to the corporate world. There's still much to learn about this realm, including insights and experiences from my boss, D. Wayne McIntyre. #learnings #reflection #careerdevelopment
