We all know that money matters. Everything we buy has an impact on the world, from the food we buy in the supermarket, to the clothes we wear or the chair we are sitting on. But this is not the only way that our money matters. 70-80% of global investments are done by institutional investors like banks, insurance companies and pension funds. So how big is this impact? In what way can we influence this with our decisions? And is it otherwise possible to change the course of these institutions?
We've invited two students, activists and pioneers in this field; Nikki Trip and Katrien Eisenloeffel! Nikki founded the organisation ‘shareholders for the future’ and Katrien and her team managed to let the national pension fund for the hospitality industry steer away from fossil fuels!
