'Through this internship, I have gained much perspective on the link between sustainability and investing. I learnt how to measure environmental, human and social capital and present them in an understandable way to others. I now see how sustainability can and must be communicated as the new direction for companies. My perception of 'impact' has also changed through this internship. I learnt that the biggest impact can also be made by companies with the biggest emissions. Finally, I contributed to the Asian Environmental Action Fund in my investigation of Electrical Utilities and Renewable Energy. I am so grateful to the Panarchy team for all their guidance and willingness to teach me.'
