GreenBiz: Is it officially too late to wish you a Happy New Year? As we return to work, here are three sustainable finance trends that are top of mind, along with three themes that sustainable finance and ESG community members say they would like prioritized in 2024.
GreenBiz: The COP28 climate negotiations gathered a record 84,000 people in Dubai, and the volume of collaborative buying commitments made by companies on the sidelines also swelled.
Funds Europe: Schroders has joined the Global Real Estate Engagement Network (GREEN), a non-profit engagement network comprised of global institutional investors committed to advancing sustainability within the real estate industry.
CNBC: ESG investing, which stresses environmental, social and corporate governance yardsticks when building a portfolio, has long struggled with a lack of transparency and differing metrics across companies — making it difficult for investors to gauge the impact of their investments.
ESG Clarity: BNP Paribas has launched the BNP Paribas Climate Impact Infrastructure Debt, an SFDR Article 9 fund that invests in energy transition projects across Europe.
Yahoo Finance: Goldman Sachs, the ETF issuer with $30.6 billion in 41 ETFs, is shuttering a $7.64 million climate equity exchange-traded fund two years after its launch as ESG funds come under regulatory scrutiny and face conservative political backlash.
ESG Clarity: Apollo Global Management is launching a clean transition private equity fund on its Luxembourg-based product platform, as part of the fund manager’s goal of deploying $50bn in clean energy and climate capital by 2027.
Institutional Investor: If those on either side of the debate over environmental, social, and governance investments feel thoroughly convinced of their arguments, they should think again.
ESG Clarity: Private capital flows to emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), excluding China, have dropped 22% since 2019 despite the ESG market growing 15% to $22trn in 2022 – and $1trn of that invested for positive impact.
Funds Europe: Swiss Life Asset Managers has announced the successful first close of its value-add infrastructure fund, Swiss Life Funds (LUX) ESG Global Infrastructure Opportunities Growth II, with over €560 million in capital commitments.
