Creating social and environmental capital markets
We envision a future in which:
‣ Capital markets will increasingly reflect triple-
bottom-line value
‣ Enterprises will serve many stakeholders, not only
shareholders
‣ In financial markets, one dollar will no longer
equal one vote
‣ Externalities currently borne by the underserved
will be priced into corporate decisions
‣ Investors will have access to real-time social and
environmental information, not only financial
information
