Meet Talice Sagerer, Sustainable Finance Consultant at the United Nations Global Compact CFO Taskforce on a mission to make the world a better place one day at a time. The work that Talice and her team at the UN are doing are crucial steps exploring the combination of finance, technology, and sustainability. It is rare that I combine my personal and professional life in this way but I am honored to call Talice one of my best friends and I'm beyond proud of the work she is doing.
I invited Talice on the series to discuss sustainable finance - a topic that, in her words, "gives companies the unique opportunity to stop doing business as usual" and shift to more sustainable practices. In her work, Talice helps CFOs channel millions of dollars in investments towards progressing on the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, she is focused on goal number thirteen - Climate Action.
As the climate crisis escalates, countries, companies, and consumers are all making urgent changes. Consumers are advocating with their wallets, buying from environmentally friendly companies and putting pressure on corporations to speed up their sustainability efforts. It's clear that we all have to do our part to protect the planet. The impact Talice and her partners are making with sustainable finance is an essential step in moving the needle.
