Global Sustainable Outcomes, and how Covid-19 could change the world for ever

Episode 11 - Eye of the Needle podcast

In this episode we talk to portfolio manager Pauline Grange about global equities and investing in companies which, through their products or services, aim to address the world’s biggest environmental and social challenges. We also look at the impact the coronavirus is having on the world around us and what this means for the future of societies and impact investing, and find out how Pauline is tackling the boredom of lockdown.
