Today, we are speaking with a representative of the legendary Rockefeller Foundation. For those unaware, this foundation is one of the oldest well-organized institutions of its type and has been responsible for a massive number of efforts over the past 100 years. 

Our guest is Thomas Belazis, Director of Innovative Finance. He runs their Climate & Impact Investing arm. 

Some of the notable things we cover today are... 

1. Their $1bn Climate and Net Zero Commitments
2. How they end up unlocking a lot of other capital when they invest
3. And why high integrity in EVERY investment matters because of the weight their name carries 

Enjoy this episode with Thomas from The Rockefeller Foundation. 🌱🌎
