So, you can be from any country in the world, but you can always trade and you can always talk money. And the global economic system and financial industry is a global citizen. The only, I would say, truly global citizen, because you shift the money across the borders all the time. In general, the financial industry has that sort of global touch. So, you can work in New York, Hong Kong, Japan, Frankfurt, or London, it doesn't matter. It's the same language.” - Sasja BeslikEpisode Timestamps(02:14) About Sasja's role(14:48) Creating impact through finance(20:05) Outsiders influence on environmental situations(23:47) Living in a world of artificial intelligence(28:59) Tools for driving change(35:58) Directing the next generation(41:02) Inspiring people to listen and make active change(44:08) Quick hit questionsLinksSasja's LinkedInSDG Impact Japan WebsitePhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

Sasja Beslik, Head of Sustainable Finance Development at J Safra Sarasin, fled Bosnia when he was 18 to escape the war. He ended up in Sweden and today spends his time leveraging the power of the financial sector to improve the world. He is particularly interested in the fashion industry's impact on people and has recently attracted attention for his calculations showing that a well-known fashion brand could afford to pay living wages to garment workers by increasing the prices on their clothes by only a few cents. In this interview Sasja weighs in on the apparel industry's sustainability performance and - spoiler alert - he comes down very hard on the industry. Sasja and Mike cover a range of topics, including the strengths, weaknesses and greenwashing of the sustainable investment industry in general, why he thinks apparel brands should be more directly responsible for paying living wages to factory workers, why a t-shirt should be more expensive, and why, despite it all, the fashion industry is still worth investing in.

I denna episod gästas vi av Sasja Beslik som har lång erfarenhet av att jobba med hållbarhet på fältet. Vad är egentligen hållbarhet och hur ska man som sparare förhålla sig till det? Kan man verkligen påverka genom sitt sparande? Frågor som barnarbete, återvinning, koldioxidutsläpp, fossila bränslen är ständigt återkommande i media men hur bör man egentligen tänka? Hur mycket ansvar bör ligga på den enskilda individen och vad menar Sasja när han säger att politikerna sover? Det och mycket mer i detta fullspäckade avsnitt med många poletter som trillar ned kring hållbarhetsdebatten. Trevlig lyssning, Johanna & Nicklas

Sasja Beslik är chef för hållbara finanser på Nordea och en nyckelperson i den svenska miljödebatten. Tillsammans talar vi om hur näringslivet kan komma att påverkas i en cirkulär ekonomi med mindre konsumtion – vad händer då med tillväxten och sysselsättningen? Och törs vi hoppas att vinstdrivande företag ska bry sig om hur deras verksamheter påverkar miljön? Vi leker även med tanken på vad som skulle hända om bilförsäljningen i Sverige upphörde under ett år och konstaterar att återanvändning av batterier kan minska barnarbetet i Kongos gruvor.

I detta avsnitt av Nordea Pulse är hållbarhet i fokus. Vi träffar Sasja Beslik som är chef för hållbara finanser i Nordea.

Did you ever wonder if there was a purpose with the financial market? Sasja Beslik, Head of Sustainable Finance at Nordea, gives you some answers. This weeks episode  is about the financial market in response to environmental challenges. No, that was/is not the purpose of the Market, but they are connected. And why doesn't people take to the streets to protest against all the strange and uncomfortable situations we are facing? Part of the answer: The middle class ain't to shaken yet. They see the neon-signs and hear the thunder. But as long as they can go to the mall, get a steak, play with their new smartphone and plan for next vacation, they aren't going to raise their voice. Do they even know how to any longer? Countries are closing their borders, Donald Trump has been elected to run and represent the remaining superpower in the world, Great Britain are divorcing EU and other countries seem to follow the road and rhetoric of protectionism and nationalism. Have we forgotten what our grandparents died for when they fought for freedom and democracy. And on top of that we have global warming with climate change, melting ice in the Arctic, sea level rise, droughts and floodings, air pollution, extinction of species, degradation of ecosystem services, ecocide and more. What does the financial market, or rather the people who make up "The Market", think about that? You will have to listen yourself in order to decide if Sasjas answers make you calm or not. He can be rather bold and harsh to the finance sector and capitalism. Spoiler: "It might hit my neighbour, but not me". His employer, Nordea, the largest bank in the Nordic region and one of the ten largest in Europe, claim that Sasja to be one of Sweden’s foremost experts on finance and sustainability. And for sure he has been rewarded, for instance with The Order of the Seraphim by the Swedish king for ”extraordinary efforts in the field of finance and sustainability”. Sasja Beslik fled from Bosnia to Sweden when he was 20 to avoid being drawn into the war in the former Yugoslavia. To most swedes that war may feel rather distant today, but as you will here in the podcast, experiences from armed conflicts is very present in Sasjas mind. Sasja is curious, worried and positive at the same time. Listen to the pod.  /Martin And please give us, the podcast and the episode, your rating here at the site and on iTunes, Facebook and other places where you find us.
