Welcome to the TBLI Radical Truth Podcast, where we feature pioneers redefining the purpose of capital. For 25 years, TBLI Group has been the world's leading ESG and impact investing network.
Why Radical Truth is different: most finance podcasts protect the industry. Radical Truth interrogates it. Unfiltered conversations with the founders, fund managers, and system-changers actually moving capital toward a liveable future — and calling out the impact-washing that isn't. No sponsors. No pretending.
What if the corporate world's most celebrated sustainability pledge made companies worse, not better?
In this episode, host Robert Rubinstein, Founder of TBLI Group, sits down with Christopher Marquis, Sinyi Professor at Cambridge Judge Business School and author of "The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs." Formerly of Harvard Business School and Cornell, Christopher has spent 25 years researching corporate sustainability — and become one of its sharpest critics.
We explore:
Why signatories of the Business Roundtable's 2019 stakeholder pledge scored worse, not better, on environment and labor
How BlackRock's ESG commitments evaporated the moment Texas pulled its funds
Why a carbon capture company raised over $1 billion without meaningfully removing carbon from the air
Why MBA rankings are built on graduates' starting salary, not education
How Costco's governance structure has kept it out of private equity's hands
Real research. No greenwashing.
For anyone serious about telling real sustainability work from a well-funded press release, this episode is essential listening.
Let’s get started with our guest Christopher Marquis. This is Radical Truth
