Michael Kramer, a pioneering thought leader in sustainable and socially responsible investing, led an engaging session at the Living in Oneness Summit 2016 titled A Discussion About Resilient Investing. In this forward-thinking panel, Kramer explored the principles and practices of resilient investing, emphasizing its potential to align financial decisions with the values of oneness, sustainability, and long-term well-being.
Kramer introduced the concept of resilient investing as a holistic approach to managing finances that goes beyond traditional economic metrics. He explained that resilient investing integrates personal, societal, and planetary considerations to create strategies that are adaptable to change, supportive of thriving communities, and mindful of ecological limits.
The discussion focused on three key areas of resilient investing:
Personal Assets: Prioritizing investments in personal growth, skills, and well-being to build internal resilience.
Community Assets: Supporting local and regional initiatives that strengthen social networks, cultural vibrancy, and economic diversity.
Global Assets: Investing in sustainable businesses, renewable energy, and other sectors that contribute to a healthier planet and a more equitable world.
Kramer shared practical tools and strategies for aligning financial choices with one's values, including investment opportunities that promote regenerative practices, social equity, and environmental stewardship. He highlighted the importance of diversifying not only financial portfolios but also investments in relationships, experiences, and knowledge.
Throughout the panel, Kramer encouraged participants to view their financial resources as a form of energy that can be directed toward creating a more resilient and interconnected world. He emphasized that resilient investing is not just about managing risk but also about fostering hope, creativity, and collaboration in the face of global challenges.
This session inspired attendees to rethink their relationship with money and to use their financial power to support initiatives and industries that reflect the principles of oneness, compassion, and sustainability. Kramer's message was a call to action for individuals and organizations to become proactive stewards of their resources, contributing to a future where people and the planet can thrive together.
