In the episode of Walk Talk Listen, Christine shares especially how her organization Humentum is trying to navigate in the changing NGO landscape while we also touch upon the usual typical WTL questions. I also talk with her about ESG (Environmental Social and Governance), and refers to the three key factors when measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a business or company.
