Shared Lunch Sharesies

If you see a small ‘B’ logo on a product or website, you’re probably looking at a B Corp—a business that’s certified to have high standards of social and environmental impact.

Sharesies co-founder and co-CEO Brooke Roberts sits down with Alex Hannant and Mindy Leow from B Lab—the nonprofit behind the certification process—to discuss the global B Corp movement and why it matters for investors.

The conversation covers growing consumer demand for ethical companies, the role of B Corps in shaping a sustainable economy, what it takes to become a B Corp, and Sharesies’ experience with gaining the certification.

Join Sharesies co-founder Brooke Roberts in this Kids & Money school holiday episode for her conversation with Jamie Beaton, CEO of Crimson Education and NZ Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2023. Jamie shares his inspiring story of getting into top universities like Harvard and Yale and starting Crimson to help other students achieve their academic dreams.

Jamie talks about the money lessons he learned from his family, and multiple business ventures, which has helped form his belief of letting kids hustle as entrepreneurs from an early age. He points out how parents prioritise being academic in some countries (not NZ), and his take on the traits a successful student should have.

When it comes to climate investing: where are we? Where do we need to be? How will we get there? 

We ask former Climate Change Minister and co-leader of the Green Party, James Shaw, before he leaves Parliament on May 1.

Shaw explains that while much of his job was telling the truth about a bleak subject, he’s buoyed by the ‘astonishing’ amount of money that’s going into so-called green finance globally. And he  believes the transition from fossil fuels is the greatest investment opportunity of a lifetime.

You’ll learn why climate reporting by listed companies is a gamechanger, the likely fate of forestry, why the carbon markets are failing, and what’s misunderstood about methane.
