Ralph Torrie is research director for Corporate Knights, a media and research firm focused on a sustainable economy. Ralph has made original contributions to the field of sustainable development, notably in the development of local government response strategies to climate change. In addition to founding Torrie Smith Associates, he was Assistant Coordinator of the Energy Research Group of the UN University and the International Development Research Centre, and senior executive of two management consulting firms. He represented Canadian environment, development, and peace organizations before the Brundtland Commission and was a Green Party candidate in two Canadian federal elections. Revenues and investments for 2,500 large firms have been measured against Corporate Knights’ taxonomy of sustainable production and the results are encouraging. These firms outperform the All Capital World Index and had strong growth through the pandemic. Ralph will summarize the taxonomy, the analysis, and what it indicates may be coming next.
