🎯 The Power of Your Pension: Trillions of Dollars, One Mission

Welcome to TBLI Radical Truth, where we speak with the pioneers redefining the purpose of capital. I'm your host, Robert Rubinstein.

Today's guest is Catherine Howarth, CEO of ShareAction—a visionary leader who has spent nearly two decades proving that pension funds are one of the most potent tools for social and environmental change.

Under Catherine's leadership, ShareAction has become a global powerhouse, campaigning to ensure the trillion-dollar investment industry takes full responsibility for its impact on people and planet. She's a member of the FTSE Russell Data Integrity Committee, former board member of the Scott Trust (owners of The Guardian), and was recognized as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.
