Drawing on his experience helping build the Positive Change Strategy into a global impact investing platform, Lee explains how Baillie Gifford identifies companies that can solve material social and environmental challenges while generating attractive financial returns over time. At the heart of the conversation is a more pragmatic view of sustainability: not as a separate agenda, but as a source of innovation, competitive advantage, and durable growth. Lee discusses the idea behind his upcoming book, Purposeful Capitalism, including why businesses should focus on “profitable problem solving” and how the Sustainability Flywheel can help leaders connect purpose, strategy, business model strength, and financial performance. The discussion offers a timely perspective on how investors and companies can move beyond polarized debates and focus on where impact and economics genuinely reinforce each other. Key Topics CoveredHow Baillie Gifford’s Positive Change Strategy defines long-term impact investingWhy product-led impact can create both societal value and financial valueWhat long-term institutional investors look for in companies preparing for public marketsWhat “profitable problem solving” means for business leaders and investorsHow the Sustainability Flywheel links purpose, strategy, and long-term competitive advantage Who Should Listen:Private capital managers, institutional allocators, and corporate leaders Subscribe to our newsletter: www.turbo-impact.comEmail us: contact@turbo-impact.comFollow on X: @turbo_impactFollow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/turbo-impactProduced by: Turbo Net Zero","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_n9pW6em96GKlSFUo5hJGXoG_xLNoYVVJ_f57j8daAw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNmM0/ZTBkNmM1YzM0NjBh/OWM4ZjExNjRkNmFl/MzM2YS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
