About this listen

My guest this week is Jed Emerson, Chief Impact Officer, AlTi Tiedemann Global and author of The Purpose of Capital. He discusses how:

  • Impact investing, social return on investment, venture philanthropy, and blended value are related, reinforcing concepts and practices
  • ESG investing is not a new idea or practice, going back at least to the Mennonite shareholder activism in relation to the Dutch East India Company
  • The ethical investment movement has evolved from screened socially responsible investments and best in class approaches to ESG integration and impact investing
  • ESG investment has reached a critical mass, but the business risk-based approach (single materiality) resulted in perceptions of greenwashing
  • Stakeholder capitalism represents a shift in societal norms and expectations of business, but face significant resistance from incumbent vested interests
