In this episode, Rosl Veltmeijer discusses how to achieve meaningful impact by investing in stock listed companies with Dirk Schoenmaker, Professor of Banking and Finance at Rotterdam School of Management (Erasmus University) and William de Vries, Director Impact Equities and Bonds at Triodos Investment Management. Impact investing is often associated with direct or private investing but is it also possible to invest with impact in public markets (stock listed investments)? And if so, how can this be realised? Dirk Schoenmaker explains that while financing the changemakers is important, it is essential to also finance established companies that are willing to transition in order to shift the system. William de Vries elaborates on the importance of engagement in achieving impact with listed companies. He also emphasises the added value of collaboration with like minded investors. Important takeaway of the discussion: not all impact can be quantified and attributed but the most important thing is that change actually happens.
