About WuWei Impact

WuWei Impact derives from the ancient Taoist principle of WuWei, which represents the idea of effortless action. Literally translated as non-action, it is not to be mistaken for advocating no action. The best interpretation is that wonderful place - as best described by the philosopher Alan Watts - where intention and action happen simultaneously. 

We, humans, have become increasingly separated from our environment, the source of many of the challenges facing society today.  Sustainability and responsible investing are en vogue and the momentum in certain areas is positive. However, too many leaders are trapped in an old paradigm of thinking. Those serious about making a positive impact need to embrace the spirit of WuWei.  Stop muddling between thinking, talking and intention. Live it. 

WuWei Impact has been formed to turn intention into action when it comes to building a more sustainable and secure future.

The aim is to bring clarity to how ESG can be practically applied in the real world. ESG Ireland® has been established to make this theme more accessible to a wider audience through a collaborative approach. 

The Responsible Investment Institute provides practical education on responsible investment and the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors in decision making frameworks.  

The objective is to empower decision makers to ask the right questions when it comes to thinking about sustainability and responsible decision making.  This is the essence of our philosophy on education and the courses we develop. We want people to think for themselves.
