How Matthew is building a better working world

“I’m passionate about helping organizations to focus on their impacts, and how they create value over the long term. That means considering and measuring environmental, social, and economic outcomes.

It’s fundamental for efficient capital markets, and we now know from our research that institutional investors are more focused on non-financial performance than they ever have been – recognizing the significant impact this can have on a business’s value. It’s how we’re helping to build a better working world.”
