Finance is one of the most powerful systems in the world. It can drive a community's economic growth, create jobs, and support the development of housing and other crucial infrastructure. It can enable new and innovative sectors to flourish, and support communities, organisations, and households through crises or otherwise disruptive transitions. Join us as we explore how Web3 can revolutionise community finance and challenge financial inequities. What is Web3?

Real estate as an asset class has had an absolutely remarkably run since the 1980's when we entered a several-decade period of economic prosperity, stable inflation, and declining interest rates. Add to that, more than a decade of quantitative easing that continued to ensure cheap financing was available for consumers and homebuyers alike.But as with every good story, it eventually must come to an end, as it has for real estate and the economy more generally in 2022. As inflation has reared its head, we've been left rising interest rates on top of high prices for goods and real estate, thereby dramatically straining housing affordability.Enter today's guest, Mazyar Mortavazi, President & CEO of TAS Impact, an unconventional impact company that uses real estate as a tool to tackle climate change, broaden affordability and equity, and build social capital to create neighbourhoods– and ultimately cities – where people thrive and belong. TAS Impact is a Certified B Corporation, a signatory to PRI and a member of the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), TAS pursues opportunities that create value for investors and generate measurable social and environmental impact.During this episode, Mazyar and I discuss the current state of the real estate market and how we got into the affordability predicament we're in, the institutionalization of residential real estate investing, the ESG and impact issues with conventional real estate development, new investment models addressing housing affordability, TAS Impact's impact measurement framework, and the importance of inviting communities into the property development process. And be sure to stay tuned to the very end when Mazyar discusses where he sees the real estate industry headed in the next decade.Resources from this episode:Tas Impact FrameworkInaugural Annual Tas Impact Report 2022Mazyar's TwitterResources from the episode announcements:Check out Criterion Institute's new podcastDiscussion of Employee Ownership Trusts

Women on Boards marks UN World Day for Cultural Diversity with a panel discussion about cultural diversity and inclusion in board and leadership roles, with guests Shirley Chowdhary, AAP Board Member; and Women on Boards' Cultural Diversity Committee member and proud Yorta Yorta woman, Claire Beattie. Tune in to listen to this insightful and real conversation, as the panel discusses: The backgrounds and lived experiences of our guest Why cultural diversity in board and leadership roles matters What is cultural inclusion and psychological and cultural safety - How we can support culture & inclusion Recognition that cultural diversity is challenging for many of us, and that we can be reluctant to ask questions because we feel ignorant....but that's okay if its done in a respectful way. Shirley Chowdhary “The most important word that I think of when I think of cultural safety is authenticity. Because the truth is that at the end of the day, every single one of us, regardless of where we come from or who we are or what our background is, we want to be able to take our authentic selves into the workplace. And we don't want to have to change that according to who we are in a room with or who we're in a meeting with, or who's there that day.” Claire Beattie "I think that everyone comes to work expecting to leave work either feeling the same way they started. So hopefully they start happy and they finish happy or even more enriched as the day goes on. Now, WHS is something that's treated very,very seriously, particularly on work sites and in infrastructure where I work. But people don't understand that psychological damage and emotional damage and trauma is just as hurtful and if not ongoing, as if you fall down a pothole and you twist your ankle or something more serious. So psychological safety and cultural safety go hand in hand. It's very important as leaders and as team members and workmates, that we understand that diversity inclusion is not a bumper sticker. It's not something that you just throw around and you think you've got it. There's a big difference between equity and equality as well. And I invite you to have a think about what those things mean.” Shirley Chowdhary Non-Executive Director, Advisory board member and Indigenous consultant.

If impact investing requires us to address systemic inequalities, and it does, then you can't claim to be an impact investor and ignore gender equality. Consider that women, girls and gender-diverse people represent half of the earth's population and that in virtually every culture across the globe, for all of human history, they have been systematically oppressed. In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Joy Anderson, the Founder and President of Criterion Institute and a true OG of gender lens investing. Criterion Institute is a non-profit think tank that works with social change-makers to demystify finance and broaden perspectives on how to engage with and shift financial systems. The core mission of Criterion Institute is to expand the demographic of those who see themselves as able to use finance as a tool for social change. This is achieved by providing resources such as blueprints and toolkits to bring people to the table who normally would not feel welcome. Criterion Institute challenges the structural inequities that create barriers in the finance world, especially as it pertains to women. Joy's interest in social change and systems of power was formulated through her experiences in academia during her undergraduate studies and in her work as a high school teacher in the New York public school system. Joy has since worked in finance for 20 years and was listed in Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business in 2011. In founding Good Capital alongside Timothy Freundlich and Kevin Jones, Joy experienced first-hand the opportunities and challenges involved in impact investing. During this episode, Joy and I discuss how highly complex jargon creates barriers in the finance industry; the importance of understanding context when moving money to create social good; and the link between increased political risk in investments and rates of gender-based violence. And be sure to stay tuned to the very end where Joy addresses the problem of keeping the finance field binary and the cultural shifts she hopes to see in the future.

What positive change might be born out of the difficulties generated by COVID and by the energy and desire for justice expressed by grassroots movements such as Black Lives Matter? For philanthropist and impact investor, Ise Bosch, the troubles of 2020 teach us how interconnected we are. “Being in this crisis together and having other crises looming, we need to build social capital together. And I think the best thing capitalism can do for us is to connect us, even around money.” This episode – the last in the series – looks at how COVID has presented Gender Lens Investing and sustainable investing more widely with their first big test, and they have passed well. Joy Anderson of the Criterion Institute, says social movements such as Black Lives Matter – as #MeToo did before it – are shifting society's norms about what is tolerable and changing expectations. Ethan Powell, a specialist in ethical impact investing, believes that within ten years Gender Lens Investing and ESG investing more widely will move from being niche products to concepts fully integrated in our market system. This series from Ariadne looks in five episodes at what Gender Lens Investing is and why it matters. It thinks about why data is vital and how to extend the same principles that underpin GLI to racial justice and LGBTQI communities. We also provide a guide on how to start investing with a gender lens, and look at how upheavals like COVID and Black Lives Matter are changing the possibilities in this growing field. These podcasts were supported by funds from the European Commission. They were written and presented by Jo Andrews, founder and former director of Ariadne, and co-founder of the gender lens data research specialist, Equileap. The podcasts were produced and edited by Bill Taylor of The Lark Rise Partnership.

"Norms, as those of us who work on gender norms know, are one of the most powerful intractable things because nobody even sees them. Right? They're so baked in, of course, women raise children, that's how things are. And so there's so baked into how we see the world. Sure, but that's a cultural norm, not truth. And so I can challenge it. And then what's really important, and I think is most important about this paper, is to say, How do I assess my relative ability to do that? Can I take on these cultural norms?" —Joy Anderson   Join Joy Anderson, President and Founder of Criterion Institute, as she speaks with Vicki Saunders, founder of SheEO in this special podcast, they discuss Joy’s latest paper “Disruptive Fields“—a comparison of the development of the field of gender lens investing to the development of climate finance.   They also touch on: Recognizing the systems and cultural norms that affect everyday power dynamics, and how we can challenge these norms Representing diversity through different types of knowledge Intersectional influences and the perception of complexity How resources, particularly the viability of contributed time, reinforce privilege Helping people recognize what their power is to challenge systems And making intentional decisions We invite you to join us as an Activator at SheEO.World.

"Would you risk your influence? Would you risk your power? Would you step out and say something bold? Because that is more risky than giving away half a million." - Joy Anderson, President and Founder of Criterion Institute A lot of time is spent focusing on how to convince capital allocators to move money into the field of gender lens investing. Could that time and energy be better spent reinventing the financial system instead of seeking acceptance into a system designed to keep us out? Is the amount of money moved even the right way to measure success?  In this week’s episode, SheEO’s Vicki Saunders and Criterion Institute’s Joy Anderson discuss the difference between selling an idea to someone with money and scheming with individuals who are willing to use their power and influence to challenge the status quo. Vicki and Joy also examine: How language dictates what's going to happen. Comparing what we ask people to do vs what we measure our success by. The significance of the freedom to use your money. Using real power by shifting through influence and scheming. The nervousness around words that have to do with an exercise of power. The need to do things in community by grounding in our relationships and be willing to risk influence. The cost of not doing this work.

"I want to get the right capital to entrepreneurs, in the way that they need it without pressure for them to have to want to be a certain kind of business." - Joy Anderson, President and Founder of Criterion Institute Overview of podcast What are the needs of entrepreneurs and how do we design investments to meet their needs? That question is put under the lens in this episode of the Power and Systems Series. Vicki Saunders and Joy Anderson scrutinize why the system needs to put the burden on asset managers vs presenting the entrepreneur to be investment-ready.  In this episode How investors define the problem as the business being "investment ready". Why investors believe they are "helping" businesses. Why debt is being called "access to capital" How technical assistance is the ability to support businesses to become investment-ready. The assumption that the problem is the business. The significance of asking enough questions to shift how the capital works vs shifting only how the business works. The need to shift incentive systems to change the rules. Take action & engage: Learn more about power and systems from the Criterion Institute at https://criterioninstitute.org/.

"It's not enough to be aware if you're not willing to use your power to challenge those systems of power." - Joy Anderson, President and Founder of Criterion Institute Gender and system change is complex. Masking the complexity so it's just about women, oversimplifies the issue. How does creating a simplistic starting point form more structural inequities? Vicki Saunders and Joy Anderson interpret the interconnectedness of how complex these issues are. In the sixth episode from the Power and System series, Vicki and Joy reveal: What we need for real systemic change. How we're not trained to think in wholes, we're trained to think in parts. The journey of the gender spectrum from aware to responsive to transformative. How simple next steps take people further into complexity. The need to change yourself to change the system. Why we're not ticking boxes, but taking people on a complex journey to discover what their role is in shifting the system.

“Finance at some fundamental level is about making bets on the future. Nobody makes money in the present - we only make money because we were right about the future that we bet on. So one really important way to think about investing with a gender lens is to question your assumptions about the future." - Joy Anderson On this episode we are joined by Joy Anderson, Founder and President of the Criterion Institute, a leading think tank focused on shaping markets to create social and environmental good. Joy has been at the forefront of the rapidly evolving field of impact investing over the past nearly two decades and is one of the pioneers of the gender lens investing movement. Our conversation touches upon the growth and evolution of gender lens investing, the biggest challenges facing the field, and how knowledge of history helps drive systems-level change. Please note that the subject of gender-based violence is discussed during this episode.

"People who haven't historically had access to the system deserve access to the system and it's screwed up that they don't have it. That's wrong, but it's access to a system that doesn't work. Because at some level, it is work and it is cost. It takes cost to actually change the system." - Joy Anderson, President and Founder of Criterion Institute There are rules attached to different kinds of money. These rules attached to how money is going out the door is based on the past. So what would happen if all the rules in the playbook were made more clear and visible? Vicki Saunders and Joy Anderson continue the conversation in part two of this episode in the Money & Power series. This episode also covers: The recognition that money has a cost associated with it. Processes around government funding; transparency for public money. The cost of stability vs the cost of disruption. How those who are unable to get capital are paying a premium. The racial bias and economic bias in funding. Why the current economic model is based on debt and how people don't want more debt.

"How do we mobilize funding for the efforts that are not working within the current system who are potentially being prophetic or bold enough to blow up the system. That they're not working in the interest in the system and therefore, they need a different kind of funding." - Joy Anderson, President and Founder of Criterion Institute Creating innovative, transformative change requires that we experiment, take risks, build deep relationships in our communities, and equip bold leaders to push forward new agendas. And those activities require sustained, unrestricted funding that places trust, and power, in the hands of the change makers. On this week’s episode, SheEO’s Vicki Saunders and Criterion Institute’s Joy Anderson discuss the power dynamics at play within philanthropy, reflect on privilege, and question how to build systems that enable more people to speak truth to power. This episode also covers: Rules attached to funding that keep the world that keep the way it is. Old constructs of for-profit vs not-for-profit. The significance of unrestricted capital that could result in different outcomes. How strategic philanthropy was encrusted in a privileged power dynamic that creates a concentration of power. The relevance and need for gender lens investing; the practice of financial return while also considering the benefits to women.   Learn more about power and systems from the Criterion Institute at https://criterioninstitute.org/.   We invite you to become a SheEO Activator or apply to be a Venture at https://sheeo.world/.

"Resilience requires a constant transformation of relationships of power." - Joy Anderson, President and Founder of Criterion Institute   We hear a lot about resilience, particularly in the context of emergencies like the current COVID-19 crisis. But for some, is resilience really just about being expected to survive a broken system because there is no other choice? In episode three of the Power and Systems series, Vicki Saunders and Joy Anderson discuss strengths and vulnerabilities in our economic and financial systems and redefine what it means to be resilient in the face of economic crisis. This episode also covers: How resiliency is fundamentally about privilege. Why vulnerability is the opposite of resiliency. How entrepreneurs on a growth path, taking outside capital during COVID, are more vulnerable. What is the point of the system? Growth vs resilience. Investing in more community-based food security for a safer future. The impact of limitations on women because of gender roles and access. The need for a basic income to stabilize people's lives. The significance of the feeling of abundance versus living in scarcity.

"To change systems, you have to focus on A system, not THE system. Because if you try to take on THE system, it's just an amorphous blob that you can't figure out how to pick at. But you can get at individual systems one at a time and that at least is a place to start." - Joy Anderson, President and Founder of Criterion Institute   How much influence would we need to be able to change a system? We have to choose to do it, but in what direction? In this second episode of the Power and Systems series, Vicki Saunders continues the conversation with Criterion Institute’s Joy Anderson about the money and power dynamics within the systems that make up this world. Today, they look at: How to inspire people in the moment of personal and community crisis to pay attention to bigger systems. The ability to see the inequitable patterns in the market systems. How gender analysis plays a crucial role to change systems. Why market systems rely on trust and therefore hard to shift. Prioritizing where there is leverage to change systems. How to pick at different systems vs blowing up the whole system. The importance of challenging power in relationships.

Our market systems impact almost everything in our modern lives, from trade in essential goods and services, to the day-to-day functioning of entrepreneurs. But these systems are not working – and indeed were not designed – for everyone. In this episode, SheEO Founder Vicki Saunders and Criterion Institute’s Joy Anderson speak about the many kinds of systems at play in our economy, the importance of trust in upholding the status quo, and how we can identify inequities in our systems and understand our power to influence them. One prerequisite of implementing systems change? Hope. "We're actually the ones that are disrupting expertise, not reinforcing expertise." In this episode: How to build a process of decision making that everyone can trust by changing the systems of knowledge. The importance of creating enterprises that address social issues through the investment process. The value in changing the systems of power by using our individual power. Shifting the conversation from back-end metrics to front-end analytics.

In this 3rd episode of our UNICEF GBViE podcast, Catherine Poulton from UNICEF and Joy Anderson from Criterion Institute talk about how financial systems can help addressing GBV, looking more specifically at mitigating the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Finance is one of the most powerful systems on earth, and investment decisions about private and public funds are based on an analysis of risk and return over time. UNICEF and Criterion Institute have been exploring pathways to engage systems of finance in addressing GBV in crises, on how GBV can be understood as material to investment decision-making, including several actions investors can implement now. Criterion Institute and UNICEF have partnered and recently creates a due diligence tool for investors to identify and mitigate the investment risks gender-based violence poses. This was done in response to addressing adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on women and girls.
