Yet another insightful discussion on responsible investment and ultimately investing in "good"corporate citizens. As Justin mentioned the word "good", will be the language of Bendigo & Adelaide Bank, I think it is refreshing to hear about actual impact investing especially here in our own Aussie backyard.

As always, Rachel you sure do know your stuff, great line of questioning.
Many thanks for the very kind words, Warwick. As always, it's the quality of the panelists that make the discussion.
