Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 894 - Institutional Investment & Investing Responsibly with Katie Wheatley

Brian interviews Katie Wheatley. Katie serves as Head of Canada for the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and is based in Montreal, Quebec. At the PRI, she works with a broad network of institutional investors to build sustainable markets that contribute to a more prosperous world for all. Katie's approach to responsible investment is informed by her previous work across Canada in community development, Indigenous rights recognition, and environmental conservation. We'll focus on institutional investment, and the trend towards investing responsibly. We'll unpack the acronym 'ESG,' talk about motivations in pursuing RI, what it means in practice, and what Katie's work at the PRI involves.
