Moving the Needle
These case studies illustrate how our work is moving the needle by influencing companies and investors to make lasting changes that will benefit industries and the planet.
Financial markets react instantly to any changes in perceptions of risk and opportunity. These market changes immediately impact the companies that are being funded by private finance because even well-funded companies rely on bank lending for their day-to-day working capital requirements. As a result, companies respond rapidly to any perceived changes in the financial markets even before they have become embedded in the financial system.
This means that influencing the financial market’s risk perceptions while also highlighting opportunities is a highly effective lever for systems-level change.
