The Intersection of Finance and Climate Impact / Sustainability Lunch Series

Join the Sustainability Initiative and Mi3 for a conversation with Kate Barron-Alicante, Director of Impact & Wealth Manager at Abacus Wealth Partners, who brings over twenty years of expertise at the intersection of social change and financial services. Join us for a dynamic conversation on the intersection of finance and climate impact, featuring thought-provoking insights on how financial practices are evolving to address today's climate challenges.

We will explore evolving B-Corp standards and reporting structures, the risks of greenwashing in climate-related claims, and the influence of the great wealth transfer as baby boomers retire, reshaping asset management and philanthropy trends. We will also discuss the role of fossil fuel divestment, from traditional approaches to shareholder engagement strategies, and how firms are responding to the rising demand for impact investing. Additionally, we will discuss career advice for those transitioning into impact and asset management, including insights on becoming an "intrapreneur" and driving change within a firm. This conversation will provide essential perspectives for anyone looking to leverage finance for meaningful climate impact.
