Listen "How We Can Scale up Impact Investment in Aotearoa"
Episode Synopsis
It’s an attractive proposition – create positive outcomes for the climate, society and the environment, and also earn a financial return. The problem is that there, so far, are few opportunities for investors in Aotearoa. Impact investment is still in its infancy here although it is growing rapidly internationally. Our panel will discuss ways to scale up and grow the impact sector while maintaining the integrity of the term ‘impact investing’. We will look at the need for impact funds to support exciting start-ups and SMEs; the market opportunities; the need for a supportive policy environment; and the role of the public in creating demand for investment opportunities.We have a great panel to discuss these issues, facilitated by Barry Coates, CEO of Mindful MoneyRoy Thompson: co-founder and managing director of New Ground CapitalJo Kelly: CEO of Toitū Tahua, the Centre for Sustainable FinanceRachel Brown: CEO of Sustainable Business Network
