Sam Jones Joins Finding Nature at RIAA

At the recent Responsible Investment Association Australasia Conference, Heartland’s Sam Jones joined Nathan Robertson-Ball on Finding Nature for a timely conversation about how investors and corporations can meaningfully uphold human rights. They explored the intersection of human rights and today’s global challenges, from conflict zones and mass migration to climate disruption, fragile institutions, and emerging technologies.

This discussion examined how these forces threaten the lives of the most vulnerable and redefine the responsibilities of investors and companies.

We hope this engaging exchange inspires fresh thinking and encourages a deeper look at the human impact behind every investment.
