Financial markets have a crucial role to play in paving the way for a greener future, directing capital towards initiatives striving to create a more sustainable world. The importance of sustainable finance has become clear in recent years, and its interconnectedness with other facets of sustainable development is vital to understanding the wider context. Sustainability itself is an incredibly broad concept, encompassing the environmental, social and economic development and wellbeing of both present and future generations. Consider the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to address a wide range of global challenges – including poverty, inequality, health and climate change – and exemplify the need for an integrated and interconnected approach. 

Our second series of Connected Capital, hosted by Phoebe Stone, Chief Sustainability Officer, continues to explore the connections between human, natural and financial capital worlds discussed in series one, and highlights the importance of collaboration with industry experts, entrepreneurs and policymakers for true progress. Each episode features insightful conversations with influential figures working in the space of sustainability. From private equity impact investing to the role of AI in solving global health crises, the series shares exciting developments from experts at the forefront of sustainable innovation. 

We invite you to listen to these discussions, share your views and participate in the conversation. All episodes are available now on Spotify and our website.

Connected Capital explores how we can better deploy financial capital to restore, protect and preserve our world for those to come.
