Why Green Finance is the Future
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria measure a company's sustainability and ethical impact — becoming a standard in investment analysis.
ESG assets under management exceeded $35 trillion in 2022 and are projected to surpass $50 trillion by 2025 — one third of global AUM.
Central banks and regulators now classify climate change as a systemic financial risk. Ignoring ESG is increasingly seen as ignoring risk.
Global green bond issuance reached a record $487 billion in 2023. These bonds fund renewable energy, clean transport and green buildings.
The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires large companies to disclose ESG performance. A global template is taking shape.
Studies show ESG portfolios have matched or outperformed traditional funds over 10+ year periods. Sustainability and profitability are aligning.
Every investment dollar is a vote for the kind of world we want. ESG investing puts your money where your values are.
