In this episode we are joined by two guests from the Border to Coast Pensions Partnership: Tim Manuel, Head of Responsible Investment and Teju Akande, Climate Change Manager.

Before speaking to Tim and Teju, we also speak to LCP Partner Clay Lambiotte, for our ‘Views from the Boardroom segment’. We hear about how sovereign wealth funds are thinking about their investments, the recent conference Clay attended in Oman (where Elon Musk was the keynote speaker) and whether we’ll be having events on the Moon in the future!

We discuss:

  • How Border to Coast approaches climate change and sustainability.
  • The age-old discussion on divestment vs engagement in the context of fossil fuels – and why Border to Coast decided to partner with an academic to do a deep dive onto this topic.
  • Climate solutions and where investment is needed for the transition to a net zero economy.

What’s one thing you would like listeners to take away from this?

  • Tim: There’s lots of really difficult conversations we need to have about difficult topics that are complex, emotive but so important.  Here’s a call to action for everyone to be part of this!
  • Teju: We need an end to siloed thinking. All voices are needed and it’s all hands on deck!

Any recommendations?
