Episode 13 | Simon Rawson - How should business think about one of their most important assets, their people?

In this episode of The Transition Tapes, Hugh Wheelan speaks with Simon Rawson, Executive Director of the Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD), about why social issues are becoming increasingly relevant to business resilience, long-term value creation, and investment decision-making.

Together, they discuss:

  • The origins and mission of TISFD, and why it was established.

  • How companies and investors can better understand and disclose their impacts and dependencies on people and society.

  • Whether stronger, more resilient societies can be incentivised through business and finance.

  • The practical challenges of measuring and reporting people-related risks and opportunities.

As always, Simon also shares his Transition Tapes Playlist, along with his favourite books, podcasts, films, and career advice.
