Why sustainability still matters for investors, the planet and society
The scientific progress and innovation of sustainable companies bring benefits for the planet and society over the long term. Through offering solutions to many of the world’s problems and improving all of our lives, these companies are helping to drive structural economic growth that their investors can profit from as well.
While President Trump’s views may be almost the opposite of the philosophy of sustainable investors, when companies deliver cheaper and better solutions they are adopted at pace regardless of the political backdrop. For example, Texas, a Republican oil producing state, has seen renewable energy increase eightfold over the last five years.
At this exclusive event, the Sustainable Investment team will discuss some of the key sustainable themes with the potential for structural economic growth and the companies with significant exposures to them:
- Leaving the planet in a good state for future generations
- Improving health and the quality of life
- Strong corporate governance.
The team will then talk through their views on:
- The role of AI in sustainability
- And why the Sustainable Future funds are adopting the Sustainability Focus label and the reasons this is positive for clients.
The team will be available to answer your questions about sustainability and the SDR labels.
You will earn 1.5 hours of CPD by attending this event.
