Learning from the Past to Build a Better Future: Reflections from the Church Commissioners’ Journey
We are delighted to welcome Alan Smith, First Church Estates Commissioner at The Church of England, as the first Bayes Craft Lecture speaker. Alan worked in banking at HSBC for 27 years before taking this role, and believes commitment to sustainable and responsible investing is a source of great value and opportunity - “If values drive value, good business is good business.”
The lecture will be opened by Dr Paul Lashmar, Reader in Journalism at City, University of London. A former investigative journalist, Dr Lashmar has written about slavery and reparations for The Observer and Conversation.
The event will be hosted by Malla Pratt, Director for Racial Equity and Inclusion, and opening remarks will be made by the Dean of Bayes, Andre Spicer.
A drinks reception will follow the event.
