About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with an expert in sustainable finance. Can you tell us a bit about your background and experiences in ethical investment governance? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent over 15 years working in the finance industry, focusing on integrating sustainability and ethical considerations into investment decisions. HOST: That's impressive! So, what motivated you to become an instructor for the Masterclass Certificate in Ethical Investment Governance? GUEST: I noticed a growing demand for professionals who understand the complexities of ethical investing and its importance in today's world. I wanted to help empower individuals to make informed, responsible choices. HOST: Speaking of which, what current trends are you seeing in ethical investment governance? GUEST: There's a clear shift towards more transparency, stricter ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) disclosure requirements, and greater emphasis on long-term value creation rather than short-term gains. HOST: That sounds like a positive change. However, there must be challenges when it comes to implementing these principles. Can you share some of those challenges? GUEST: Certainly. One major challenge is the lack of standardized ESG data and metrics, making it difficult to compare companies' sustainability performance. Additionally, there can be resistance to change from stakeholders who prioritize short-term financial returns over long-term value creation. HOST: I can imagine that would be difficult. Looking ahead, where do you see the future of ethical investment governance going? GUEST: I believe ethical investing will become the norm, as more investors recognize the importance of aligning their investments with their values. Furthermore, regulators are increasingly focusing on sustainability issues, which will drive the adoption of ethical investment practices. HOST: Thank you for sharing your insights with us today. It's been fascinating to learn more about ethical investment governance and the Masterclass Certificate that you teach. GUEST: My pleasure! I encourage anyone interested in sustainable finance to explore this course and take the first step towards becoming a leader in ethical investment governance.
