Demand and influence: Consumers, government and the private sector

Sweta and Taylor talk to Alessandra Sollberger, an impact investor, entrepreneur and general force of nature! She is the founder and CEO of Top Tier Impact, a global, private network of high impact and sustainability leaders and investors. Alessa describes how global impact and sustainability can grow faster and better, and recognizes the urgency for action while looking forward to ushering in a thriving future. She is a globally recognized generational voice leading at the nexus of impact and technology, and an advocate for an incentivized and accountable private sector on climate change.

Alessa explains how it is finally more profitable for the private sector to part of the solution than to be part of the problem, which is a recent change compared to the early 2000s when green funds first gained popularity. This current decade is a critical time, and individuals and the public sector must also recognize their roles in influencing and moving corporates. The trio discuss the future of the private sector in responding to and signaling societal advances from climate change, to better food choices, to racial injustice intolerance.

Listeners will learn how individual behaviors and demands can influence governance and ultimately overhaul seemingly slow to reform heavy industries like cement and steel.

Consumers can dictate what companies do, and we must. This is an episode filled with facts, hope and action!
