Pathfinder's partnership with Female investing powerhouse Raising The Curve

Kate Hall AKA Ethically Kate inspires living in a way that respects and protects the planet and its people. She is an educator, writer, and content creator who advocates for living and decision-making that respects and protects people and the planet.

Kate has worked with Pathfinder since our inception, she writes about the beginning of our ongoing partnership here:

"I like to think I’m super on to it. I have diaries and lists, I read books and watch documentaries, I did really well in school and even better at university… but recently I let myself down.

Up until early March 2020, I had no idea where my KiwiSaver was invested, or even what that meant. *insert face palm emoji here

To make it even more embarrassing, it turns out where you invest your money determines a huge part of your impact on people and planet. I have been ranting on about supporting ethical businesses and voting with your pocket since 2015, but little did I know the biggest vote I have was actually supporting businesses who are the exact opposite to my people-loving and planet-respecting values."

Who better to interview about the power of ethical investing and how it can align with your values while also creating value, than Kate?

" I personally felt sick when I realised I was investing thousands of dollars into companies who were exploiting the environment and people. It made my low waste and conscious lifestyle feel like a joke! If, like me, you want to ensure every cent is invested in companies doing good…pick Pathfinder."
