Mindful Money Announces 2024 Conference and Awards: Mainstreaming Impact and Celebrating Excellence in Ethical and Impact Investing

Conference

This year's conference will focus on mainstreaming investment for positive impact. It builds on Mindful Money’s recent research, and aims to accelerate funding through KiwiSaver and managed funds into New Zealand companies that earn good financial returns while delivering crucial social and environmental benefits.

Mindful Money’s co-CEO, Barry Coates explained: “The growth of KiwiSaver and managed investment funds has created a pool of domestic capital that is currently mainly invested in listed companies globally. Investing part of this capital into financially attractive initiatives in Aotearoa New Zealand could be transformative in meeting our urgent challenges such as the transition to net zero, increased resilience, social housing and environmental regeneration.”

“The conference aims to provide opportunities to  increase understanding of the opportunities and build connections across the impact financing ecosystem.”
