Knowledge and Insight

The charity inspired by the father of modern computing has shown that giving old computers new life has environmental as well as social benefits.

Our latest edition starts by comparing and contrasting the current outlook with 1970s ‘stagflation’. New this quarter are regular feature articles looking at one of our long-term investment themes and a topic with ESG implications. This time we consider opportunities in sustainable agriculture and what the war in Ukraine means for the green energy transition.
