Sept 24 Toronto Event: Do green investments ever make money?
A key question for faith-based trustees…
“If you think the only bottom line produced by sustainable energy is a social one, that’s just not true for many companies, and never was. Green energy can make money, for both early-stage and longer term investors.
Three of the most battle-scarred and successful green energy investors are in Toronto. So please join us at the next RamsayBreakfast to hear their CEOs offer different perspectives of the promise and pitfalls of the energy efficiency sector.”
