1. Finance Matters
Put sustainability at the heart of finance

2. The context: an opportunity to make
sustainable finance mainstream
A new generation
of finance professionals
ready for a new system of finance
Governments can’t afford to
provide basic public services –
opening space for business to
step in
Capital doesn’t always
flow in ways that are
positive for people and
planet
Intermediaries governing
the flow of capital lack a
deep knowledge of
sustainability
Businesses with a profit
& purpose mandate
face complex paths to
scale
Career and personal choices made by this generation will shape the financial system’s contribution to
sustainable development for years to come

3. Our vision: we want to put sustainability at
the heart of the financial system
Where social and
environmental factors
are integrated into all
decision-making
That serves the long-
term real needs of the
economy
In which a career in
finance is personally
and professionally
fulfilling
1 2 3
• We envision a financial system:

4. …by empowering individual finance
professionals to take action
Bring social and
environmental factors
into product design,
analysis and decision-
making
At an institution whose
objectives, methods and
culture are consistent
with the vision for
sustainable finance
Promote sustainable
finance and
development through
the growth of social
enterprise and impact
investing
Innovate in your current
work

Finance Matters helps finance professionals put sustainability
at the heart of their careers:

5. Our story
• Finance Matters is a London-based social
enterprise
• Founded by two women working private equity
and sustainable investing, motivated by
opportunity to integrate greater social and
environmental impact across the financial
system, and based on the belief that the
individual can be the source of positive change
• Launched in September 2012 with the mission
to put sustainability at the heart of finance –and
give every finance professional the tools to
pursue sustainable finance in their own career
We believe choices made by individual professionals in finance are critical to making sustainable
finance a reality – and provide the tools to make it happen

6. Our growth
• Today, Finance Matters has a community
membership of 1,000 individuals working in
finance or associated with the London financial
services industry
• Our founding team has expanded to a core team
of four women, with a rotating base of 4-6
additional volunteers
• ~350 individuals read our social investment market
updates in our Finance Matters Weekly each week
• Our events and workshops on sustainable finance
and impact investing are typically attended by
20-35 individuals – delivering a deeply engaging
and inspiring experience for a small group
We have delivered dozens of events and workshops that encourage people in finance to think about
their relationship to sustainability – and put new concepts into practice
