This investment strategy can involve different types of asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or microloans. The point of impact investing is to use money and investment capital for positive social results. ESG InvestingESG stands for environmental, social, and governance. ESG investing refers to how companies score on these responsibility metrics and standards for potential investments. Environmental criteria gauge how a company safeguards the environment. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and communities. Governance measures a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.Source: Investopedia QuotesRobert Rubinstein: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Simon Thompson: “The Green Finance Education Charter sets out our collective commitment to incorporating green and sustainable finance principles and practice into our education and training programmes for professionals worldwide. Over time, millions of current and future professionals will develop their knowledge of green and sustainable finance – and play their part in leading the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon world.” Lindsay Angelo: “As Futurists, it’s not our job to predict the future. It’s our job to lay out plausible paths that may unfold and then to CREATE the future we desire. There is a distinct difference.”

Impact Investment Challenges – The Future Now Show
with Robert Rubinstein & Mario de Vries Robert Rubinstein and Mario de Vries discuss the world of impact investment and its challenges. Robert emphasizes that sustainable investing does not have to be a trade-off with profitability. Robert criticizes the current ESG trend, describing it as a “fitness club” where everyone wants to show they’re doing something, but not actually implementing changes. He expressed concern over the lack of critical thought and the perpetuation of fraud in the industry. Robert emphasizes the need for true sustainability impact measurement and the importance of standardizing metrics. He raises concerns about the current state of sustainability reporting and the misconceptions among investors about their contributions to environmental and social restoration. He also points out systemic change as an advantage over chaos-based approaches. – AI summary by Zoom Moderator Credits Robert RubinsteinChairman & Founding PartnerMake the financial system work for all stakeholders.TBLI Group Holdings B.V.The Netherlandswww.tbligroup.com Moderator Mario de VriesMedia SpecialistPortugalgazooom.nlFelix B BoppProducer, The Future Now ShowFounder & Publisher, Club of Amsterdamclubofamsterdam.com The Future Now Showclubofamsterdam.com/the-future-now-show You can find The Future Now Show also atLinkedIn: The Future Now Show GroupYouTube: The Future Now Show Channel The Future Now ShowNew ShowThe Future Now ShowSearch The Future Now ShowThe ShowsThe TeamDialog & Networking

But science was long based on the assumption of a reality independent of humans – a material universe that could be studied without interfering in it in any way. When physicists discovered that all the universe was composed of energy waves and that every instance of our human reality was a wave function collapsed from sheer probability by a conscious observer, everything changed.” Hardy Schloer: “The human brain links and processes huge amounts of data every second of every day. To do this, it uses neurons that learn, calculate, and communicate independently but are constantly interacting, creating intelligent information. Based on this, we have developed the QRI data model, a method in which data autonomously organizes itself.” Rick Griffith: “It really does matter what you do, who you do it for, with, and how you connect to the impact of your output.”

Bengston: “There is substantial evidence that we are currently in a period of rapid and significant change in forest values. Some have charged that managing forests in ways that are responsive to diverse and changing forest values is the main challenge faced by public forest managers. To tackle this challenge, we need to address the following questions: (1) What is the nature of forest values? That is, can all forest values be reduced to a single dimension, as assumed in utilitarian-based traditional forestry and economics, or are these values multidimensional and incommensurate? (2) What specific values are involved? (3) What is the structure of forest values? That is, how are they related to each other in value systems? (4) How and why have forest values changed over time? and (5) What do changing forest values imply for ecosystem management approaches?” Bronwyn Williams: “Join me on my mission to understand the world and create a better future for all of us who live in it.”Elisabet Sahtouris: “The Globalization of humanity is a natural, biological, evolutionary process. Yet we face an enormous crisis because the most central and important aspect of globalization – its economy – is currently being organized in a manner that so gravely violates the fundamental principles by which healthy living systems are organized that it threatens the demise of our whole civilization.”
