Recognition of those who invest their money in sustainable / development / research startups and businesses that support educational / healthcare / environmental projects that improves the quality of life of others.
This would be a nice way to thank those who have taken risks with their earnings, rather than just put their money into banks and let the moneylenders decide where the funds should go.
These philanthropist investor winners are just presented as lists, it should be a top-10 countdown every week like the music charts was on tv. Make them heroes, not just names and invite them to private events. How is the world to know if Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos do the most for the world with money they have made from it? Respect to the winners, whoever they are though.
Having an investment version of the philanthropy awards would be a good thing, and could be presented to the public better, I agree. But I wonder how many people realise they have never even heard of the biggest giver on the list you linked to:
Jamsetji Tata $102.4 billion Education, healthcare
Bill Gates $75.8 billion Healthcare, extreme poverty, education, access to information technology
Warren Buffett $32.1 billion Healthcare, education, AIDS-prevention, sanitation
George Soros $32 billion Healthcare, anti-fascist publications, human rights, economic, legal, and social reform
Top 10 philanthropists are celebrated in jazzy ways. If giving is rewarded by God, then more power to them.
An ‘Ethical’ award exists already and the UK event is coming up soon. Not sure if noble is the right word, but I like the idea.
Yeah, I see why it could be called noble, rather than ethical… “Ethical investing, or ESG, has been a buzzword on the edges of the investment industry for decades… Do we all need to be wary of greenwashing and cynical grabs for assets? In this video, Laura Suter explains all.” Maybe it’s not as sexy as it sounds. (?)
