Sustainability and Impact Investing

Sustainability: John Fullerton of the Capital Institute talks with Ruth Ann Barrett of EarthSayers.tv about the need to align capital with sustainability principles and practices and the emergence of impact investing. He begins with how he is aligning his own investment activity with his values which are consistent with a sustainable future. He references the Social Capital or SoCap10 conference recently held in San Francisco and the largest interdisciplinary gathering of individuals and institutions at the intersection of money and meaning.

The mission of the Capital Institute is to stimulate the interaction and action of leaders, scholars, and society by raising awareness of the need to harness the power of capital and markets to advance a just, resilient, and sustainable economic system that will improve lives and preserve the planet. It is a non-partisan, transdisciplinary think tank, founded in 2009 by former JPMorgan Managing Director John Fullerton. www.capitalinstitute.org
