Description

Send us a textIn this episode, we welcome Catherine Howarth who has been pioneering systems change for over a decade with ShareAction. ShareAction coordinates civil society activism to promote responsible investment across Europe. We explore the critical role that finance, pension funds, asset managers and big banks have in transitioning to a low carbon future and that there is no space in our carbon budget for further investment in fossil fuels. Catherine talks about their formula for successful campaigning, the need for us to be a movement for change and influence our pension funds and how that can happen and a vision for a sustainable financial system that serves society instead of being so self-serving.You can support the work that ShareAction does by visiting https://shareaction.org/ Who is Catherine Howarth Since 2008, Catherine has been the Chief Executive of ShareAction, an organization that coordinates civil society activism to promote responsible investment across Europe.

Catherine's expertise in corporate governance has not gone unnoticed, as she was named a 'Rising Star of Corporate Governance' by Yale University's Millstein Center in 2011, and recognised by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader in 2014.When Catherine finds the time for herself, she loves heading up to Scotland to spend some time in the mountains and by the sea.Of course, her two boys keep her occupied at home, but she still manages to sneak in some runs around the East End of London when she can. Where shall we go next, what questions shall we ask?
