How Linn is building a better working world
“When I started exploring sustainable finance in 2010, few of us had foreseen the regulatory revolution this domain is facing now. A transition of capital into greener or more social activities involves a shift for financial intermediaries, investors and companies. When I advise clients in strategic matters, sustainable finance is a reoccurring topic as part of a portfolio for investors, green asset ratios of banks and to attract and qualify for cheaper financing for SMEs. Hence, sustainable finance represents a building block in the larger shift toward a more sustainable business environment.
I asked my children what sustainability means and they answered two things; first, sustainability means taking a long-term perspective on something, and second, doing something better over time. I bring both the long-term and the ever-improving perspective with me in my everyday work when I strive to build a better and more sustainable working world.”
