For almost thirty years, I had the pleasure of working with a group of mavericks and trail-blazers advancing two concepts that go to the core of investment and business purpose, strategy, operations — and governance. Starting at the Social Investment Organization (now the Responsible Investment Association) and continuing through my 20 year career at Ethical Funds, NEI Investments and Aviso, I advanced the idea that investors should incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their decision-making in order to manage risk and generate long-term sustainable returns for investors. Further, I have advanced the idea that the purpose of the company is to go beyond providing returns to shareholders but also to have regard for the interests of other stakeholders including employees, customers, suppliers and communities effected by company operations. It gives me great pleasure that both concepts have now taken root and are growing rapidly at investment institutions, companies and other capital markets entities. Today, I have launched my own consultancy, LVC Strategies, and am now serving as Sustainability Policy Manager at the International Corporate Governance Network. I also serve as a Strategic Consultant at Millani Advisory - a leading boutique consultancy based in Montreal working with clients across Canada and into the United States, with a mission to help investors integrate ESG issues into their investment decisions and helping companies communicate their material ESG issues to investors. LVC Strategies is also involved in impact investing - currently a community-based vineyard project in France - and working with coalitions to advance leading-edge approaches to sustainable value creation, stewardship and managing systemic risk. I also serve as a board director at Vajrakilla Innovations a Helsinki based smart earth tech company focused on tree-planting in the Global South, and at the International Institute for Sustainable Development a top global sustainability think-tank. Specialties: Corporate governance, stewardship, sustainable and responsible investment, ESG investing, corporate social responsibility, stakeholder engagement, environmental issues, human rights, solutions-oriented negotiation, strategies for change.
