"The sustainability revolution, coupled with the technology revolution, will be the most significant event in economic history." - David Blood

How can we harness capitalism for good? Can new investment strategies prioritize planet and yield higher returns? And how can we best finance a net zero economy?

The University of Michigan's Erb Institute is honored to welcome leaders across sectors to dig into financing change. Their keynote will be delivered by David Blood, co-founder and Senior Partner of Generation Investment Management. Since its founding in 2004, Generation has played an integral role in the development of sustainable investing and in demonstrating the long-term commercial and societal benefits of this approach.

Following his keynote, David Blood will be joined on stage by a set of panelists who bring additional real-world experience leveraging a market economy to create sustainable change. Joining on stage will be:

• Liesl Clark, Director, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy
• Michael Dorsey, Partner, IberSun Solar & Member, Club of Rome
• Jennifer Haverkamp, Graham Family Director
• Chad Spitler, Founder and CEO, Third Economy
