Today I’m speaking with Nick Stoop, founder of Pangea Impact Investments - a company that’s trying to change something most of us rarely think about. Where our pensions are invested, and what that money is actually doing in the world.

In this episode we get practical and brave about money - banks, pensions, and the difference between light green labels and deep green impact, so our savings can serve the living world as well as our future selves.

• What happens to our money inside banks and pensions.
• Why pensions can outweigh everyday “green” habits in impact.
• Agency in an opaque system and how to start using it.
• Light green screening versus deep green positive impact.
• Ethics, risk, return and the futures we’re funding.
• The problem with labels and why “ethical” often isn’t.
• Transparency as reconnection to place and consequence.
• The role of workplace pensions and scope 3 emissions.
• Third-party verification, B Corps and better metrics.
• Moving money without sacrificing performance over time.
• Imagining local, regenerative investments we can visit.
• Small first steps that build a values-aligned portfolio.
