[SPN-Discussion] Register Now - April 30th, Collaborative Ecosystems in Sustainable Finance: Harnessing the Wisdom of Crowds

[Kelsie DeFrancia]

The Earth Institute's Research Program on Sustainability Policy and Management invites you to Collaborative Ecosystems in Sustainable Finance: Harnessing the Wisdom of Crowds<https://events.columbia.edu/go/collabecosystems> on Monday, April 30th, at 6:00pm at Columbia University.

Financial markets are the primary directors of economic activity in a capitalist global society, but they also have an important societal role in encouraging investments that are beneficial to natural and human ecosystems. In sustainable finance particularly, decision-making by many small market participants, rather than a few dominant players, is crucial to overcoming the high cost of information gathering, due diligence, and impact assessment.

Moderated by Satyajit Bose, lecturer at Columbia's School of Professional Studies and associate director of the Research Program on Sustainability Policy & Management, this event will explore the value and limitations of using collaborative ecosystems to direct investment towards attaining social and environmental goals, while still preserving the discipline of metrics-based selection and quantitative evaluation. Panelists include:


*         Fan Gao, Senior VP, CreditEase

*         Alexander Laipple, Director, Neighborly

*         Julia Moshkin, Senior CSR Analyst, EcoVadis

The event will be followed by a reception with wine, beer and hors d'oeuvres.

Regards,
