Craig McKenzie, Head of Investor Responsibility, Insight Investment

Shareholder capitalism is widely thought to foster short-termism and greed, but people like Craig McKenzie are trying to change that. Craig and his team are responsible for influencing the recipients of Insight’s 70 billion pounds worth of investment to behave in a more responsible way. Ever since his dad bought him a subscription to The Economist, age 14, Craig has understood that economic failures underpin many of society’s problems. When he left university, wanting to build a more sustainable, equitable and wealthy world, he decided that investment markets were the place to achieve his aim. In the coming years he hopes that education and campaigning will lead mainstream investors everywhere to adopt a more responsible attitude.
