Responsible Investor: Climate and food systems are inextricably linked. The way we produce, process, distribute, eat, and dispose of food contributes to climate change, and climate change affects the future sustainability, security, and equity of the food system.
Opalesque: How much sense does it make for a hedge fund to apply ESG criteria in its investments? It does make a lot of sense on two main counts: pressure from asset owners, and positive performance over the long term. Then there's also a moral imperative.
IPE: The debate over climate change is certainly heating up – both metaphorically and literally. Record temperatures were reported across the globe last month and the UK’s Met Office stated that the top 10 warmest years on record in the UK have all occurred since 2002.
The Asset: Supported by a strong second quarter in 2019, the global green bond market looks set to achieve another milestone as it is predicted to surpass US$200 billion in total issuance for the year.
Financial Times: A private prison operator, a gun manufacturer and Rupert Murdoch’s media groups are among a number of stocks that have been thrown out of Vanguard funds created to invest in companies with strong environmental, social and governance records.
The Asset: Fitch Ratings has launched what it described as a heat map on environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks covering 51 different industry sectors for corporate issuers to provide further insight on the relevance of ESG factors to credit ratings.
Investment Europe: A study by Witold J. Henisz and James McGlinch of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, published in the spring issue of Applied Corporate Finance, has suggested a connection between ESG performance and credit risk.
Bloomberg: Earlier this year, one of Meryam Omi’s deputies at Legal & General Investment Management sat down with board members and managers from Exxon Mobil Corp. to discuss how the oil giant could address climate change. LGIM, which manages about $1.3 trillion, is one of Exxon’s top 20 shareholders.
Institutional Investor: Limited partners are increasingly putting pressure on alternatives managers to improve the diversity of their firms. But recent hiring for marketing and fundraising roles, at least, suggests that these firms still have a long way to go.
Top 1000 Funds: For more than 50 years, intensively reared animals have been the main source of protein for consumers worldwide, and a major ingredient for multi-billion-dollar brands like Burger King, McDonald’s and KFC.
