If not now, then when? While we're not waiting for government, no doubt progress is slower and less impactful without their constructive engagement in a coordinated and sustained effort to drive scale. Targeted action sends power…lnkd.in/edQrYvDt bit.ly/3nl7KOL
Well done to all finalists & honourable mentions. We were proud to work with & invest in @JigsawAus on its capital raise this year which is enabling it to expand nationally & provide more people with disability with work experience & support to transition to mainstream employment

On a trip home from Amsterdam, Bardee founders Phoebe and Alex had a wild idea. "How could we transform an entire city's food waste into valuable products?" 💭

Thrilled to be investor in Bardee alongside @blackbirdvc -love the circular economics: Bardee is paid to take in food waste, paid for protein & paid for frass. This process offsets two tonnes of CO2e for every tonne of food waste processed 🙌

Excellent session from @GSGimpinv Summit with @gilliantett Benoit Valentin @Temasek @AndrewKuper @LeapFrogInvest discussing impact investing opportunities at scale & the blend of reason/conviction/passion that informs investment decisions youtu.be/-H_dGD83pLA #GSGSummit
Major forces 1.shift in values towards companies that are creating positive change 2. Leaps in technology disrupting w impact as major component of business model 3. Transparency on impact - big data enabled us to measure impact & translate to $ terms #GSGSummit @sirronniecohen
$40 trillion of ESG investment is now flowing to achieve impact as well as profit. Impact Investment is now a trillion dollar pool. @sirronniecohen #GSGSummit
Covid has accelerated the need for impact forward - it has set the background for bold action - government cannot cope with the economic & health consequences of covid without bringing private capital & business in to help with the recovery @sirronniecohen #GSGSummit
Great start to the #GSGSummit with some powerful poetry. Excited to be tuning in from Australia 🇦🇺
