Top 1000 Funds: There has been an “evolution” among private equity managers in integrating ESG over the last three years, said Michael Cappucci, senior vice president, compliance and sustainable investing at the $37.1 billion Harvard Management Co, speaking at PRI in Person in Paris.
Private Equity Wire: Capital is flowing into ESG investments with many private equity GPs now on the case. But to stay ahead, they will need credible evidence of impact, not just slick marketing.
GreenBiz: Two new global reports conclude that climate change could exert strong downward pressure on global economic performance. Although the effects are projected to have global implications, the impact will not be spread evenly. As such, understanding risks, exposures and relative positioning might help both companies and investors better protect themselves from the consequences.
Citywire Selector: Investors are operating with a ‘striking knowledge gap’ when it comes to ESG, despite many wanting to increase or improve their allocations here.
IPE: The battle lines are being drawn up in the debate over whether shareholder value maximisation or satisfying all stakeholders should be the primary objective of corporate management.
Funds Europe: Investors following the responsible investment trend focus less on returns from social and governance investing than they do on environmental opportunities.
Think Advisor: A puzzlingly common misconception in the investing world holds that investments that take into account environmental, social and governance considerations entail a certain trade-off: doing good for people/communities versus turning a profit.
Funds Europe: Global index provider MSCI has warned that plastic could become a stranded asset amid the shift toward electric vehicles and international efforts to cut down on fossil fuel emissions.
Investment Executive: The group, which includes 50 organizations representing over US$2.9 trillion in assets under management, said that the Equator Principles (EPs) — a voluntary, global environmental and social risk management framework — doesn’t provide an adequate mechanism for avoiding reputational, financial and litigation risks involving Indigenous rights when banks finance controversial projects, such as pipelines.
Mondo Visione: In its history, humanity produced 7.8 billion tonnes of plastic until 2015, roughly one tonne per person alive today. After its usage, plastic partly gets “revived” as a PET bottle or even in a T-Shirt. While this process remains the best-case scenario, large amounts of plastic are flushed into the ocean where it may become eaten by aquatic animals, eventually ending up in humans’ stomachs.
