The house has a view is a three part short film series about a journey with purpose at the core. It is widely recognised that finance plays an important role in the transition to a more sustainable future and world economy.
Sustainable solutions are not merely good for the world, they are also good for the companies that bring them to the market. Through this lens on sustainable and ethical investments, we learn from global thought leaders pioneering sustainability in business and society, we look at companies spearheading the movement and we ask, what is the key to a more inclusive and sustainable future?
The House has a view is produced by Thought Leader Global and curated by Storebrand Asset Management.
There will be no sustainable future without business being part of the solution.
