Sustainable Finance & Socially Responsible Investment

Climate Change Moves From Risk to Reward

Financial players and their investors have much to gain from the shift toward greater sustainability. These investments offer a dual benefit: they lower emissions, speeding the transition to a low-carbon economy, and they can make (or save) money. People are increasingly aware of the first two pillars of sustainable investing -- risk identification and transparency. Now we need to inform them about the third: the need to drive capital toward sustainable opportunities, both at home and internationally.

From “Disclose” to “Disclose What Matters”: The Growing Role of Investors in Sustainability Reporting

Investors have a growing role in sustainability reporting. Their actions are key to encouraging reporters to move towards disclosing what matters. They have an interest in better performance along with other stakeholders, as it brings higher returns. One way to promote that is by ensuring that the companies they invest in are transparent about the effects they have on the economy, society and the environment. The virtuous circle in which transparency reinforces good performance will result in benefits to the investors, better off societies and less damage to the environment.
