The Green Finance Podcast Ep. 1: Banking and sustainability with Aspiration CEO Andrei Cherny

Summary: Green finance is all about what the finance industry is doing to address climate change - we know business as usual isn’t sustainable, so we are essentially in the middle of a transition towards reaching net zero. But this is not an easy thing to do, it involves collaborations between many institutions, companies and people - so let’s talk about how to get there. In light of this, my very first guest on this podcast is Aspiration CEO Andrei Cherny. Aspiration is a fintech that wants to help customers use their deposits for sustainable investments and gives them the option to offset their carbon footprint - a fundamentally different strategy from traditional banks.
