🎙 How the financial sector can speed up the green transition 'This efficiency thinking so as cheap as possible because then you have a higher profit today and more dividend to share buybacks. That's ingrained in finance, to short term nature of markets. And if you can switch the story to, well, I'm in a very turbulent sector. And like if your car company in in Europe if today Tesla is to higher market value than all European car companies together. If you cannot explain to investors that you can built a new production plan for electric cars. But if you don't have the staff who are not mechanical engineers but software engineers, which is quite different, that's the story analysists should be asking. Not all of them are doing that already. But like in the car industry, if you if you're not prepared for the future, you will be gone in a few years time. And that kind of discussion is coming up. Long term survival, are you ready for after the transition?' Listen to the full episode with Dirk Schoenmaker, Janneke Hermes and Rebecca Christie at the link below: https://lnkd.in/deTrkRyS

🎙 How the financial sector can speed up the green transition 'So for us, Gasunie is an infrastructure company in the transport of natural gas. But we're transforming to an infrastructure company for energy and of course renewable energy being the biggest part of that for us. So always it has been extremely important to be reliable right? So if people get in the shower in the morning, they are sure that the water is warm. So reliability is always been a big factor for us. Safety has been our utmost important. Always because if we do not operate safely, then we are out of business. So these have always been factors that we have incorporated, right? So when investing, making sure that we do it safe and reliable. And what we're adding to this now is making sure we do it in a very inclusive manner and making sure we reduce emissions in CO2, but also methane as much as possible. So how this works is that we need to make explicit what we're doing and, this is exactly what the book of Dirk and Willem Schramade describes. Can you make visible and transparent what you take from society? So not only in euros, but also in nature, in human capital, etc.? And what do you give back? And is that imbalanced? So that is and it is a challenge because many things we just don't know yet. But the fact that we're working on it and we're discussing and we're learning is a major step forward.'
