Catherine Howarth, CEO, ShareAction

<p>In this episode, we’re joined by one of the most influential voices in sustainable finance: Catherine Howarth, Chief Executive of ShareAction.</p><p>For nearly 20 years, Catherine has been reshaping how pensions and investments serve people and planet - not just profit. Under her leadership, ShareAction has turned quiet shareholder voices into powerful agents for climate action, social justice, and accountability. Before ShareAction, Catherine founded West London Citizens, building power through community organising. Since then, she’s been named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, served on the board of the Scott Trust (owner of <em>The Guardian</em>), and advised the UK government on green finance. She’s been recognised by Yale, the BBC, and was awarded an OBE by King Charles III. In this episode, we unpack: How to challenge financial systems from the inside, what it takes to turn investors into activists, and why finance might be the most underused lever for building a fairer, greener world. #ImpactEquation #SustainableFinance #Leadership #ClimateAction #SocialImpact #ESG #Podcast</p><br /><p><br /></p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
