Purpose Driven Capital

Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General, said at the COP26 Climate Change conference “The state of the planet is broken. Humanity is waging war on nature. This is suicidal. Nature always strikes back, and it is already doing so with growing force and fury. Human activities are at the root of our descent towards chaos. But that means that human action can help solve it. Making peace with nature is the defining issue of the 21st century.” Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock Inc, with US$9.5 trillion under management, has stated, “We believe that sustainability should be our new standard for investing.” He acknowledged that climate change was the most significant factor that would affect economic growth, asset values, financial markets, and is set to accelerate a significant reallocation of capital. Encouraging and facilitating the engines of human action, business, to help solve the defining issue of our lifetimes is our purpose. We bring financial partnership to vital matters by driving investment and innovation in projects that take real and successful action.
