Got 10 minutes to spare? Volans, founded by my friend John Elkington, and the University of Exeter are carrying out research into why and how investors engage on climate policy. The work is part of a project funded by the The Generation Foundation. The team is keen to capture institutional investors’ views on current practice and how this area might evolve in the future via this short survey. This will take less than 10 minutes.

Respondents can opt in to be the first to receive access to the report, due mid-2026. https://bit.ly/3WsmPyQ
