The term “sustainable investment” covers a range of concepts and niche asset classes, from carbon trading and cleantech investment to the use of environmental, social and governance (ESG) information in portfolio construction and voting policies.
Taken as a whole, sustainable investment is a dynamic, expanding and global market worth several trillion dollars. Participants include highly influential pension funds such as CalPERS, ABP and Hermes, and money managers and investment banks ranging from Goldman Sachs to Citi as well as many specialist boutiques.
This market trend is mirrored in many of the world’s publicly listed companies and their strategic management of issues such as climate change, clean technology, labour standards and human rights. Companies (and their investors) recognise that factors like these can be essential to innovation, productivity and market growth as well as to risk management and brand value. Policy-makers, legislators, regulators and accounting standards boards are also focusing on sustainability issues in the corporate and investment spheres.
Many exchanges have taken innovative steps to anticipate and respond to these new opportunities. Their initiatives range from measures to improve information efficiency through sustainability indices and disclosure guidance, to specialist listing and trading platforms.
