Project Abstract
For many, sustainability and addressing climate change are about small adjustments that we can each make. We rarely think about how our money influences the sustainability priorities of companies. Yet through investment activities, investors can put sustainability on the corporate agenda, encouraging companies to adjust their behaviour. I want to provide the next generation of investors with an opportunity to learn about this under-emphasised power. The objective of this research is to explore the potential for investors to make a difference in corporate behaviour, and to create effective resources for empowering future investors through education and skills development.
