In the end, change needs to come bottom-up in organisations from the younger generations, so provide space for them ā¦

Thatās a really fair point Anna. The funding cycle especially is tricky here. Weāre starting small, in just a couple of areas in Kenya for now, to ensure that we can fund this work well beyond that first 5 years. We are also building on some previous projects, so the initial awareness raising among farmers has been done - which is saving us a lot of time. But yes, it is a challenging timeline!

Yes agreed! Good terminology to take away.
The references to different metrics and the importance of a solid business case, which were noted by several panelists, are also very useful.
Look forward to picking up the conversation elsewhere. Thanks Katie and team!

Totally. The next step is improving the strategic branding of those green investment products so they appeal to more and more funders.
I guess one of the main ābenefitsā of such branding should be āthat long-terms profits absolutely need a clean(er) environment, a solid middle-class and vigorous social solidarityā - because without those things, there wonāt be enough customers or enough resources to survive as a company in the long-run.
