Deutsche Bank har holdt en konference om ESG, og asset managers kunne konstatere en voksende interesse fra investorernes side. EU er foran, hvad regulativer omkring ESG angår, og det er med til at skærpe investor-interessen, ligesom udenlandske kapitalforvaltere bliver nødt til at følge EUs regler, hvis de vil ind på ESG-markedet. ESG-analyser er kvalitetsmæssigt bedre end deres rygte.
Sustainability: Insights from the db ESG conference
Highlights from a recent ESG conference in Deutsche Bank where sustainability leaders and asset managers discussed key ESG topics as part of focused panels and presentations.
This included sessions on global sustainability regulation, ESG trends & integration, diversity & inclusion and biodiversity.
Key highlights:
- Asset managers report demand for sustainable investing is rising rapidly.
- Increasing regulation will support reallocation of capital to sustainable investing.
- The US is behind, but the SEC and the Federal Reserve have signalled a positive direction of travel.
- Corporates outside of Europe, who want access to capital in the region, will face EU sustainability regulation
- The qualitative aspect of ESG analysis is underappreciated.
- Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) is a movement and not a moment.
- The focus on “E” often ignores biodiversity, but this is changing.
