For business and investors, there’s no doubt about it: The smart money is going green…and the growing movement toward ecologically forward-thinking companies is quickly becoming bigger and bigger.

In fact, we are all living a "nemesis of wealth" (nealth), caused by our shortsighted choices of the past, just focused on ROE, NPV, and shareholders’ value. This "nealth" is now paying us back not only with loads of public debt, inflationary money, and debased cryptocurrencies; but also with unbearable social discrimination, geopolitical tensions and wars and de-globalization; and-last but not least-with the ticking bomb of the climate change to come.
