Green capitalism is a hoax

People have been asking me what I’ve been up to lately. It’s been almost 10 years since I co-founded Future Super. It’s been almost 10 years since I joined the board of ACCR. Both organisations were built to shake things up for a better future. Future Super shook up the $3 trillion super industry into taking their members' concern about climate risk seriously. ACCR created the blueprint for shareholder advocacy in Australia and got corporate boardrooms shaking. But for the next 10 years: we need more change, faster. It’s still too easy for institutional investors and big companies to pay lip service to change. And it’s not easy enough for ordinary people to create the change they want to see with the power they have. Some food for thought: ❌ Australia is one of the most difficult places in the world to file a shareholder resolution ❌ When we rely on institutional investors alone to lead engagement and keep companies accountable, do we really see meaningful change or is it business as usual? The biggest wins have been when small and big investors have been united, where boardroom engagements are backed by grassroots and people powered campaigns ❌ Choosing between divestment and engagement is a false dichotomy. We need both, and we need better tools to enable groups of ordinary people to take action on the issues they care about.  ❌ Impact investing needs accountability. ‘Impact investors’ are on the rise, but there are no standards of accountability about what makes an impact investor. Impact-focused companies who want to increase their impact need better ways to seek funding that aligns with - and is accountable to - the goals of the company. We need to be having a new conversation about the markets that companies operate in, the rules companies play by, and how change happens to create accountability for companies, and alignment between investors and impact companies. If that sounds like a big vision, it is. That’s what we’re working on at SIX: increasing the power of investors to build the world they want to see. SIX is a trading platform that unites shareholders to push big companies to be better: on climate, inequality, workers’ rights. Our North Star? We want big companies to be concerned when a campaign is started on SIX. And that’s just the start. We’re planning to launch in early 2024, but you can join the waitlist now. And if you’ve got a perspective? Drop me a note. I’d love to chat. https://bit.ly/46PUbuO Sophie Hall Bertrand Caron, PhD Dan East Melissa Hagarty Eden Young Isaac Astill Martina Camilleri Camille Socquet-Clerc Amanda Gordon (she / her)

Very interesting article on responsible equity exits from Cerise SPTF. Guidance and sharing of experiences and learnings is much in need when it comes to responsible exits of impact investments. As BlueMark's Making the Mark 2.0 report continues to show, OPIM principle 7 (impact at exit) is still of very nascent practice. BII, in particular Paddy Carter has also been helpfully sharing on this topic as well. Thank you to those who help advance this topic and looking forward to seeing more dialogue and shared progress on responsible exits, both equity and debt (which we should not forget about, those are exits too!) #responsibleexits, #impactinvesting, #fieldbuilding https://lnkd.in/eEB7SzJA
