We understand the role that financial markets have to play in driving capital towards businesses and organisations striving to create a cleaner, safer and more sustainable world. However, financial markets alone can only achieve so much. Without true collaboration with industry experts, scientists, policymakers and entrepreneurs, progress will be limited.
The second series of Connected Capital looks to develop the theme of collaboration further and features conversations with five of the most dynamic and progressive minds working in the space of sustainability:

Host Phoebe Stone, Head of Sustainable Investing, is joined first by Gary Neild, founder of Blue Sky Financial Planning, a financial advice firm whose mission puts financial wellbeing and education at the heart of his business. In the episode, Gary discusses his drive and passion for running Blue Sky and why he handed ownership of the business over to those working for it.
