Sustainability Community

Good morning community!

Recently I started listening to videos and conversations by Brian Tracy and the like on what do successful people do and what differs them. One of the advice was always make yourself better and always learn new things. 

Our community is a perfect place for you to do just that. Learn. I encourage you to pop up the question here, something you might have been pondering about and the answer to which will help you in your day to day job. Use the power of the collective wisdom to power up your day and may be even career?

I would also like to extend a warm welcome to new members whom we welcomed recently: all of them bring different "sustainability" angles and are very passionate about building a better world.

Patrick Flam, Reveterra Corporation. Patrick is leading a company that innovates in energy storage. 
Oliver King, JP Morgan. I had the most insightful conversation with Oliver, he is an expert with many years of investment experience and currently specialises on data for investors and new ways of cutting that data.
Tarjei Lode, currently with LBS. In the pas Tarjei helped managing sustainable private equity fund.
Edvaldo Morata has years of experience in family enterprise and launching funds. Currently working on carbon credit fund
Adriana Reali Saler is currently a Vice President with SMBC and is interested in how fund raising can be linked with sustainability.

Do say hello to these new members and welcome them to the group!
