"We're on the threshold of a paradigm shift in our economic system - within 2 to 3 years companies will be mandated in some countries to publish impact statements that show their revenues, their costs and their impact.
When that happens the whole economic system will shift. Consumers, talent, investors and government will know which companies are delivering positive impact."
Join Sir Ronald Cohen and I from The Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG) #GSGSummit, where we discuss the great work of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the recent International Foundation For Valuing Impacts (IFVI) that have got us to this point.
If you are a company leader, investor or simply and most importantly, a citizen of our planet, transforming capitalism to genuinely increase prosperity and social progress for all is the necessity of our day, and you can be a part of it.
How can you get involved?
In addition to the GSG there is The Global Impact Investing Network, in Australia we have the Climate Zeitgeist Climate Investor Forum, the Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific, the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA), and guides working directly with Foundations and Family Offices such as Kylie Charlton and the team at Australian Impact Investments
