In this clip, Katie LaFleur from FullCycle highlights a crucial issue: the outdated notion that impact and profit cannot coexist. LaFleur recounts how she came to this realization through her initial resistance to holding Exxon stock due to its environmental impact. LaFleur’s father responded that maximizing returns and then using those profits for charity was the way to make a difference. This traditional view suggests that impactful investments come at a cost.
LaFleur points out that today, impactful investments can yield competitive financial returns while also being aligned with sustainability and social responsibility values.
LaFleur further emphasizes the potential for investments to achieve financial success and positive change. By supporting ventures that address these global challenges, we can reject the traditional view that impactful investments come at a cost and instead promote sustainable development and equitable opportunities for all.
