In case you couldn't attend day two of our Sustainable Finance Week, here are our top 10 takeaways from the day with Rennie Hoare, Fabio Sofia and many more.
- We've passed the tipping point on sustainable investment -
there's no way back.
- We are beginning to see the fruits of our performance as a
result of concerted efforts by companies (and by extension,
investors) to be greener global participants.
- Investment opportunities in the climate space are
growing.
- Young mindsets, which are most aligned to sustainable goals,
are having a positive effect on the attitudes of older investors
towards sustainable investments. This is the future.
- Sustainability is embedded across private clients' demands
of their investment strategies.
- We cannot ignore fundamentally sound investment principles.
Balance is key.
- Activists may set the agenda, but private wealth has the
responsibility to carry it forward and lead change with
stakeholders.
- Intentionality is key to driving comprehensive engagement with
sustainable investing. What are your goals?
- For companies, third party governance is critical to ensure we
are meeting stated climate goals.
- We have crossed the Rubicon of sustainable investing – whether due to client demand, public scrutiny or increasing regulation, it's not going anywhere.
