Kirsten Spalding December 9, 2020 Investment growth Editor’s note: This article is the first in a series about the Ceres Roadmap 2030, a vision for sustainable business leadership in this crucial decade. The roadmap provides a 10-year action plan to help companies navigate and thrive in the accelerated transition to a more just, equitable and sustainable economy. With investments in environmental, social and governance (ESG) assets doubling to $40.5 trillion globally during the past four years, it’s clear investors have sustainability threats on their minds.
"Day Zero" water scares and the struggles in the U.S. to reckon with racism are just a few recent events that expose how systemic and pervasive sustainability risks Email List can be. In response, more investors — from the largest asset manager BlackRock to individuals managing 401(k) accounts — are integrating ESG information into their investment processes to manage that risk. But assessing risk exposure is only half the equation for successful investors.
The question for many is finding the "alpha" — or the opportunities for above-average investment returns — in the accelerating transition to a just, sustainable, net-zero emissions economy. Where are the big opportunities to capture growth? Which companies are on the path to create long-term value in this transition? For some companies, the sustainability value proposition is in their DNA — the business exists to provide a climate change solution, bring resources to underserved communities or address other environmental or social issues.
