Responsible investment stewardship towards net zero with Rachel Halpern

Responsible investors are pushing back against so-called ‘Tea and Scones Stewardship’ and demanding meaningful company engagement.

Done right, stewardship can steer companies toward net zero; done wrong, it’s as unsatisfying as a lukewarm brew and a stale scone.

Today, we’re joined by Rachel Halpern, head of sustainability at JANA Investment Advisers, which advises on over $1.3 trillion in funds. She’ll discuss responsible stewardship strategies for achieving real impact.

Rachel is the head of sustainability at JANA Investment Advisers, an advisory firm with over $1.3tn funds under advice.

The host of The Greener Way is Rose Mary Petrass, senior journalist at FS Sustainability.
