Green finance: Will banks tell us how they spend our money?

Do people in Asia know or care where their banks invest their money? And even if they do, can they do anything to push their banks towards sustainable investments? To discuss this, Eco-Business spoke to Mayur Singh, a Singapore-based entrepreneur who co-founded tech firm Mattrvest last year. His company helps young people invest in things that align with their values. Singh is also involved in a campaign called My Money My Planet, which encourages consumers to ask their banks to tell them how their money is being spent.  Tune in as we talk about: How much impact do consumers really have as investors? How much of our money is being spent on unsustainable investments like fossil fuels, unhealthy food, slave labour, and guns? Do people in Asia really care how their money is being invested? What can we do about greenwashing in green finance products? Are banks changing fast enough to meet climate goals?
