B Corp CEOs: Are your Pensions Building a Better World? [B Lab UK]

Event time: 1:00-2:00 PM GMT (United Kingdom). Please check your local time conversion.

There’s £3 trillion in UK pensions, which contributes to the deforestation of the Amazon, helping tobacco companies sell cigarettes, and funding new fossil fuel projects. Pension funds have invested trillions on our behalf without ever asking the crucial question: do these investments create a world we actually want to live in?

While many B Corps are cutting their carbon footprint, committing to net zero emissions and innovating to improve their impact, there’s every chance that their pension scheme is undoing this good work. This could be making them accidental investors in the practices they avoid or the injustices they fight against.

On Wednesday 21st April, we are partnering with Make My Money Matter to host an intimate conversation for our B Corp CEOs and leaders to dig into this topic further. We’re really excited to be joined by Richard Curtis, acclaimed film director, writer and producer and Co-Founder of Make My Money Matter.

Join us and your fellow B Corp CEOs and leaders to find out where your money’s going and demand that it does better.

When: 13:00 - 14:00, Wednesday 21th April 2021- we will be hosting an optional 15 min virtual networking session from 14:00 - 14:15.

Where: This is an online event. You will receive the registration link when you sign up.

Who: This event is for CEOs and leaders of UK certified B Corps.
