The modern economy is flawed. It tends to ignore non-financial ‘externalities’, like the environment, when considering a company’s bottom line.

Listen now to hear how simple it is to bring sustainability into the heart of business.  Links to check out: Rethinking Capital Rethinking Capital paper: Constrained by Accounting Rethinking Capital paper: Constrained by Economics See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
