HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
MONEY BASICS
with MARTIN HESSE
THIS article was originally just going to be about your finances, and about how, by investing in ESG-focused investments, you can help the world to be a better place. But it dawned on me that it’s not just about how we invest our money; it’s about how we live our daily lives. There are innumerable ways, as consumers of products and in how we interact with society and the environment, in which we can a) immediately make a difference at ground level and b) move the needle in influencing companies to change for the better. After all, it’s ultimately all about a better quality of life, not only for ourselves but, importantly for our children and grandchildren, who will bear the brunt of our collective harmful actions.
