Fred’s values are most closely aligned to Tribe Theme – Environment & Ecology, particularly SDG 13 (Climate Action). Fred believes that corporate stakeholders – customers, suppliers, employees – understand that ignoring negative environmental externalities is a growing business risk, both reputationally and operationally, and the investment community in turn is beginning to realise this could influence the cost of and access to capital.
