Behind Sir Ronnie Cohen: Reshaping capitalism for positive social impact

In this episode of Behind the Narrative, hosts Katherine Spence and Ian King are joined by Sir Ronnie Cohen, a man who has fundamentally reshaped the intersection of business and social change. As the co-founder of Apax Partners, one of the world's leading private equity firms, Sir Ronnie’s legacy extends far beyond the boardroom into the realms of global philanthropy and social innovation.

The conversation delves into the core of Sir Ronnie’s vision: Impact Investing. He discusses the evolution of this field over the past 25 years, moving from a nascent idea to a $30 trillion ESG market and a trillion-dollar sustainability-linked debt market. Sir Ronnie argues that for capitalism to survive the environmental and social challenges of the 21st century, the economic system must transition from prioritising profit alone to valuing social, political and ecological impact alongside profit. Tune if to find out how entrepreneurship and investment can be harnessed to create a fairer, more stable world.
