There are spaces for thought and dialogue that transcend the agenda of the day to create fertile ground for two complementary perspectives to meet and generate criteria for action. When that happens, communicating is power to serve the common good, connect companies, align interests and build bridges between ideas and people.
From comma, we have contributed to promoting one of these meetings with a long-term vocation within the framework of a cause that challenges us as a sector: the ‘Diálogos Activistas de lo Mutuo’, of Mutualidad, a cycle designed to think with vision transformative and that places in the centre the solidarity, the sustainability, collaboration and the creation of more inclusive societies.
In a new chapter of this space, held at the headquarters of Mutualidad in Madrid, we have been instrumental in supporting Mutualidad and bringing together two of our spokespersons, essential figures in the industry of management of capital of our country: Pedro del Pozo, director of Financial Investments at Mutualidad, and María Ángeles León, founder of Global Social Impact Investments (GSI) and Open Value Foundation. The objective: to discuss, with data and experience, about investment in impact. It is the result of a specialised consultancy that identifies areas of authority, aligns agendas and brings together the firms that we represent so that the conversation adds real value to the audiences.
We feel directly challenged in this honest and useful debate between two brands with different approaches that are different, but one common ambition: to combine profitability and purpose.
Key ideas that emerged from the debate
- From ESG to impact: the “peak” is achieved when capital drives tangible social and environmental objectives.
- Measure what matters: metrics useful for management; avoid “paralysis due to compliance” regulations that increase costs and block progress.
- Impact and profitability coexist: the demand for sustainable assets improves their value; it is no less profitable: it is more in demand.
- Inclusive growth: growth, yes, but with inclusion from the outset, combining private initiative and policies that accompany it.
- Governance and the long term: sustainability integrated into risk and investment reinforces the resilience of portfolios and of companies.
That is the type of communication that, since comma, we want to continue promoting: creating the conditions for the best ideas to be found, to be contrasted and are turned into decisions that change economies and societies. Thank you to Mutualidad for opening this space and to Pedro del Pozo and María Ángeles León for a conversation that raises the level of the debate.
‘Diálogos Activistas de lo Mutuo’ is a Mutualidad space where conversations are held with inspiring people who have unique life stories, enriching professional experiences and diverse perspectives. They all share the same goal: to contribute to improving the world we live in. The aim is to generate reflection on current social issues that connect with the values and purpose of our organisation.
