I wanted to help people invest in a way that aligns with their values without compromising returns. HOST: Fascinating! Now, what current trends are you seeing in green finance and sustainable investing? GUEST: There's a growing interest in impact investing – where people aim to generate both financial returns and positive social or environmental impact. Additionally, many large financial institutions are incorporating ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors into their investment decisions. HOST: That sounds promising! However, there must be challenges in integrating eco-friendly practices into traditional investment portfolios. Could you elaborate on those? GUEST: Sure. One challenge is the lack of standardized metrics for measuring the environmental performance of companies. Also, some investors still believe that they have to sacrifice returns for sustainability, which isn't always true. HOST: Interesting insights, Jane. Lastly, how do you envision the future of eco-friendly investment practices? GUEST: I believe that eco-friendly investing will become mainstream as more people recognize its potential for generating long-term value while contributing to a healthier planet.
