Let us start by saying a simple thank you. Thank you to everyone and anyone who has read Blue & Green Tomorrow in 2013. In November alone, that was over 40,000 of you.
2013 will be remembered by those in the sustainability space for a number of reasons, perhaps none more so than the recent devastation in the Philippines, where Typhoon Haiyan tore through the country and sent shockwaves to other parts of the world.
For Blue & Green Tomorrow, this event – and a number of others in 2013 – reinforced the message that investors are a crucial part of the jigsaw.
Institutionally, some major pension funds and banks have made strong commitments to fossil fuel divestment or environmental responsibility this year, while at a retail level, it has continued to be inspiring and encouraging hearing from the many investors, fund managers and financial advisers that continue to champion sustainable investment as their strategy of choice.
The appetite for sustainability from individuals appears stronger than ever.
2013 was also the year that we acquired Worldwise Investor to launch Blue & Green Investor, which is now essentially the financial pages of Blue & Green Tomorrow, for financial professionals and sophisticated investors.
We have a number of exciting plans for the coming 12 months and beyond, so here’s to a bigger, better and even more encouraging 2014.
