Are you an #invsetor with a conscience? Do you want your investment to be a #forceforgood, stewarding us towards a #sustainable future, making #positiveimpact for #people and #planet on behalf of #futuregenerations? I do. Triodos Bank is leading the way in the #sustainability #thrivingeconomy #postgrowth conversation. They recommend you ask your #financecompany to: 1. Not invest passively in an index. The index represents the business-as-usual pathway. 2. Only invest in the real economy. 3. Only invest in value creation that helps society thrive 4. Be in there for the long term 5. Invest in impact first, then risk and financial returns. Because, as they say "businesses in general simply cannot pursue only financial profit as an end in a sustainable economy. Financial actors must see themselves as stewards of the future, making conscious investments in the transitions that we and future generations need. Positive impact for people and planet, should come before risk and return... This transformation is a long-term process. Only when the financial sector looks beyond shortterm gains and focuses on the long term, can it successfully contribute and become part of a postgrowth economy... Post-growth offers investing opportunities with financial returns for investors. But only if [we] dare to choose."

💨 As soon as I saw this post yesterday I sought to share it. It takes me a while. Just before I was going to post I lost the whole thing. Taking a deep breath I was going to reconstruct in 30 minutes. Life took over. Hopefully this is not too late ... ⚡ Knowing my profile and reading below you will understand why I was excited! ❣️ It seems that when Tom Bosschaert speaks he will be talking about many of the things I deeply care about. 🏞️ It is interesting to me how people can 'graduate' to similar positions from 'different' backgrounds. Tom Bosschaert may say he was only 19 when he began. At the time he had not yet finished his training; and that was fundamentally in a design field. 🧬 My own background is in science and #systemic thinking. When did that begin? Formally at around the same age as Tom. Informally much younger. And my 'design training' also began before I was 8; can't exactly remember how young! 🧒🏼 What am I saying in all this? Fundamentally I believe, those of us who appear to have a holistic vision of 'how things work', I am looking forward to meeting Tom but have not yet done so, seem to have been influenced along those lines from early developmental experiences, whatever the so-called 'discipline'. 📚 My own perspective is that so long as we maintain the perspective of being life-long learners, again one of those caveats I claimed long before it was 'fashionable' to do so just because it is authentically me, we may come to an understanding of matters that are similar to those of people from very different disciplines. 🫶 The 'beauty' of our different backgrounds is that we can each bring fresh perspectives on each others work so through our joint #connections the effectiveness of the work will grow. This is surely the iterative wisdom of #Nature where everything works in harmony? 🌳 In today's world where #regeneration is SO needed, surely every and any way we can work together to achieve #regeneration more effectively we should take. What do you think? #regeneration #systemic thinking #food #Nature #connection
