Financial activism or how to make your money a force for good

Today I am honored to welcome Robert Gardner, a high-profile individual in the finance industry who uses his power to try to make the world a better place. On top of being director of Investments at Saint James Place and managing £150 billion of clients’ wealth, he has founded the 4th largest investment consultancy in the UK and holds a few board positions. He is driven by financial well-being and making money a force for good and thus has an industry-leading position when it comes to responsible investing. In this episode, we are talking about financial activism, the persistent campaigning to create change from having a net 0 portfolio, to being a member of climate action 100+ to engage with the largest emitters on the planet, to diversity in the workplace, and empowering people as early as 4 years old with money skills. All the subjects that I cherish that ultimately lead to financial well-being. So let’s get inspired and hear about these fantastic initiatives and the energy devoted to them!
