Their ability to empathize and provide strategic insight can be invaluable when navigating turbulent waters.

It's a brand new week and today we would like to pose a debate on a rich statement made by Amanda Kabagambe, CEO & Founder - Bethel Advisors at the recent 7th Annual Bankers' Conference. Contrary to common belief held by investors and banks, sustainable startups can be just as profitable as traditional investments. By investing in these businesses, you’re not just supporting the environment or sustainability—you’re also securing reliable returns, just like any other business. The key difference? These ventures are future-focused and environmentally conscious, but they operate with the same business rigour. Share your take; should banks invest more in sustainable driver start-ups and why? #MondayMotivation
