Peter Hall (Patron) is Executive Chairman of Hunter Hall International Limited, one of the world’s largest ethical investment managers.
Peter is also Deputy Chairman of Prospect Publishing, a Director of the International Rhino Foundation, a patron of the Asian Rhino Project, a member of the Sydney Film Festival Council and a trustee of the Bedales Grants Trust Fund and of Action for Brazil’s Children Trust, a UK-based charity.
Peter’s interest in tackling the problem of litter stems from his horror at the disrespect that many people in our society show for themselves and our world by littering. He is particularly inspired by the example of Clean Up Australia Day, a day when hundreds of thousands of Australians get stuck in and clean up their local environment by collecting and removing rubbish on one of the cleanup days. He is horrified by litter and rubbish in the countryside. If he was able to wave a magic wand, he would employ many more people to pick up litter, include it as a sentencing option for minor crime and impose heavy fines and litter duty on people who litter, particularly cigarette butts and chewing gum.
Peter was made a member of the Order of Australia in 2010 for his philanthropic contributions to society and his service to the finance management industry.
