Asset management has a key role to play in the transition to a greener economy
INVESTING FOR IMPACT
While the global economy is significantly behind schedule on achieving ‘net zero’, the phenomenal growth of ESG assets has done little to slow the advance of human-driven global warming.
Impact investing aims to generate positive, measurable real-world change — particularly in combating the climate crisis — while also providing financial returns. Investing for impact is crucial to help emerging markets ensure a just and rapid transition to net-zero, with increased sustainability delivering attractive returns for investors.
