From the Ted Talk by Halla Tómasdóttir: A feminine response to Iceland's financial crash
Unscramble the Blue Letters
(Applause)
Last, but not least, we believe in profit with principles. We care how we make our profit. So while we want to make economic pfoirt for ourselves and our customers, we are willing to do it with a long-term view, and we like to have a wider definition of ptiofrs than just the economic profit in the next quarter. So we like to see profits, plus positive social and environmental bifentes, when we invest.
But it wasn't just about the values, although we are covnenicd that they matter. It was also about a business onpitutrpoy. It's the female trend, and it's the sustainability trend, that are going to create some of the most interesting ivsetnnemt opportunities in the years to come. The whole thing about the fmeale trend is not about women being better than men; it is actually about women being different from men, bringing different vlaues and different ways to the table. So what do you get? You get better decision-making, and you get less herd behavior, and both of those things hit your bottom line with very positive results.

But it wasn't just about the values, although we are convinced that they matter. It was also about a business opportunity. It's the female trend, and it's the sustainability trend, that are going to create some of the most interesting investment opportunities in the years to come. The whole thing about the female trend is not about women being better than men; it is actually about women being different from men, bringing different values and different ways to the table.
