Podcast host Rosl Veltmeijer sits down with Alex Sokolowski, Head of Investor Relations at Corbion, and Dimitri Willems, Fund Manager of Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund to discuss the role small and midcap companies play in a world where sustainability and ESG are under severe pressure, how important they are in driving positive change and what challenges and opportunities they are facing.
Key topics of this podcast include:
- How important are small- and midcap in driving positive change in society? What makes them different from largecap-companies?
- Are there sufficient investment opportunities in this segment for impact investing?
- Does the current ESG backlash influence the strategy of a company like Corbion?
- What effect does the changing regulatory landscape, for instance regarding the mandatory sustainability reporting and supply chain due diligence, have on companies like Corbion and impact investors such as Triodos Investment Management?
- What are the differences in engagement strategies between mainstream investors and impact investors? and how effective is engagement?
As Alex Sokolowski notes: “I appreciate the focus of impact investors. We benefit from engaging with them because they are more interested in the fundamentals and the strategy of a company, rather than chasing the quarterly performance, like a hedge fund might.”
