“We are excited about this partnership with Rewired Earth. Together with our network partners across the United Nations system we see an enormous opportunity to scale our collective work in unlocking the true value of sustainability for everyone and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals".
Stephen Keppel, President, Pvblic Foundation
"Businesses and investors have one of the most crucial roles in ensuring the global economy truly transforms to support a sustainable future for our planet. But this transformation relies on capital being confidently directed towards those companies who are truly pulling in the right direction. However, it is challenging to easily identify the businesses that best align with different sustainability goals, as can identifying what investors, consumers and other stakeholders prioritise. This is why PwC is excited to partner with Rewired Earth, whose innovative approach to bridging this gap holds great promise to transform the financial markets into a powerful driver for sustainable growth."
Carl Sizer, Head of UK Regions, PwC
“Without coordinated global action, climate change will have an even more catastrophic impact on human wellbeing and the health of our planet than it already has; we desperately need practical tools and solutions that enable the financial markets and Governments to properly reward sustainable action. I am incredibly excited about this coalition’s ability to demonstrate the power of those evidence-based solutions, while starting to rebuild trust across society and call on others to join forces with this exciting collaboration”
Lord Iain McNicol, Advisory Board Chair, Rewired Earth
““We are strong supporters of Rewired Earth, a global solution with international support which has the potential to drive real change and long-term sustainability.”
