Welcome to ESG Matters @ Ashurst

Elena Lambros learns how Nikhil Chouguley's early experience in the Himalayas deeply influenced his path towards creating Sustopia, an ecosystem of blockchain, AI, and eventually quantum computing which are increasingly being harnessed to navigate financial investments to facilitate sustainable decision making.

In this wide-ranging conversation Nikhil discusses how we are on the cusp of a 'Green Industrial Revolution 4.0', driven by a younger generation of investors who value sustainability over short-term profits, a point that Sustopia aims to harness, guiding capital towards technologies and ventures that can shape a sustainable future.

Game Changers and Transition Makers: Utopian thinking for sustainable development

There’s nothing ordinary about the events that Chris Pensa creates for corporate clients, and his personal story is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode, Ashurst’s Elena Lambros hears how this former competitive figure skater carved out a career that combines creativity and sustainability in numerous ways.

Chris takes us back to 2005 and his early career at Sotheby’s, where he became the first person to catalogue artwork by Banksy (then an unknown street artist). From there, Chris explains how his personal and professional passions guided him towards where he is today, curating bespoke events for clients in the financial, legal and tech sectors that frequently inspire participants to reconsider how they can boost their ESG strategies.

In this wide-ranging discussion, Chris discusses the power of individuals and businesses to make a positive contribution to the environment and he emphasises the creative potential within everyone. He also discusses the importance of raising inquisitive children, how cold-water swimming keeps him productive, and how lockdown prompted him to create and livestream rollerblading tours of London street art.
