About
Sarah has spent more than two decades exploring the relationship of business to society and the environment and, more recently, the role that investors can play in helping solve complex global problems such as poverty and climate change.
As part of this, she covers topics such as clean energy, microfinance, access to healthcare and education, urban development and global food systems, with a focus on how companies, investors, governments, philanthropists, non-profits and others can work together in pursuit of more sustainable models of development.
