Webinar Overview

India’s energy transition is moving into a more execution-driven phase, where investors and lenders are increasingly focused on delivery, commercial viability and credible decarbonisation pathways. As the power sector becomes central to India’s ability to integrate renewable energy, electrify industrial growth and maintain system reliability, questions around market pricing reform, storage readiness and investment signals are becoming critical to the next stage of transition.

This webinar will explore how these shifts are reshaping both the power and steel sectors, with a particular focus on corporate transition credibility and emerging policy risks. Drawing on our latest analysis, we will examine power sector performance, the role of electricity market pricing signals, the readiness of Indian steel producers to deliver on net-zero commitments, and the implications of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for competitiveness, disclosure, and low-carbon investment strategies.

In real estate, social value refers to the positive outcomes a building or place creates for people and communities. This could be improved wellbeing, access to services and jobs, inclusion, safety, and stronger local connections. 

As investors navigate widening socio-economic inequalities, shifting tenant expectations and heightened scrutiny from stakeholders, the question is no longer whether social value matters. The real question is can it be delivered in a way that’s both meaningful and investable?

This report covers BlackRock Investment Stewardship’s (BIS) activities from January 1 through December 31, 2025. BlackRock’s stewardship policies are developed and implemented separately by two independent, specialist teams, BIS and BlackRock Active Investment Stewardship (BAIS). While the two teams operate independently, their general approach is grounded in widely recognized norms of corporate governance and shareholder rights and responsibilities.

Almost every economics presentation or meeting over the past few years has had to include a mention or a question about AI – and rightly so. The impact of the technology on the economy has both been meaningful already and is set to increase in the coming years.

We’ve seen impacts on growth in the US via software investment and data centres, a boom in Taiwanese exports, and financial markets dominated by the winners and losers of AI. But beyond the initial buildout, the second-round macro impacts in most of the world have been pretty small so far. We haven’t seen mass layoffs. We haven’t seen productivity spike. We haven’t seen our day-to-day lives transformed by AI quite yet.

The transport sector is making some progress on decarbonisation, but it is slow and the outlook is tough. According to the UN, the sector accounts for roughly one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Making transport clean(er) remains the central tenet of the industry.

In some of America's biggest agricultural states, wind and solar revenues are approaching those from corn, soy, and other major commodities.

American farmers have long diversified their income by leasing land for energy infrastructure, and over the past 15 years, utility-scale wind and solar have become meaningful sources of revenue. RMI analysis finds that revenue from rural solar and wind energy has become significant in some states, and at the national level is approaching the scale of major agricultural commodities.

Chemicals play a critical, though often overlooked, role in modern society. They provide many of the key building blocks for the construction industry, support agriculture by increasing crop yields, and offer novel materials for a range of products from automobiles to new energy technologies. In fact, chemicals are everywhere, present in 96% of manufactured goods, including 75% of the energy technologies that will be needed to navigate the energy transition.

Between now and 2030, the increase in electricity demand for air conditioning systems alone will exceed that for data centers, one of the fastest-growing energy uses globally. By 2050, cooling electricity demand is expected to match the combined annual electricity consumption of the United States, China, India, Germany, and Japan today. Yet, cooling hasn’t made it to the top of energy transition conversations and receives far less attention than is needed.

As spring weather arrives, drivers in electric vehicles (EVs) may notice that their cars are going farther between charges. They aren’t imagining things — like all vehicles, EVs operate more efficiently in temperate weather. To help grid planners and regulators better account for these seasonal effects, RMI is releasing a set of new scenarios in our GridUp EV load forecasting tool to showcase how changes in temperature can affect EV charging demand throughout the year.

A new report from the UK-based nonprofit organization Centre for Net Zero, to which RMI contributed, considers the next phase of the global electric vehicle (EV) transition: mass adoption. This phase comes after years of targeted policy support, falling battery costs, and expanding global supply chains. It represents the steep part of the “S-curve” of technology adoption and is characterized by rapid cost reductions, improvements in quality, and stiffening competition.

With oil and gas markets rattled by conflict in the Middle East, Europe’s energy exposure is back in focus. The  closure of the Strait of Hormuz has shown that disruption to supply is becoming more likely against today’s geopolitical backdrop. Europe must act decisively to ensure long-term energy sovereignty. Accelerating the transition to clean energy is the clearest path to this. 

Our latest report finds that the European Union remains heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels from high-risk trading partners who have shown their willingness to abuse their trading power. This leaves the EU vulnerable to price shocks and geopolitical pressure despite the move away from Russian gas.  

Editor's note - this article focuses on stewardship

In the current environment of heightened uncertainty, the market’s attention is directed more than ever towards the short term, be it the latest advance in AI or yet another geopolitical headline. While there is undoubtedly opportunity for investors who can skillfully exploit the associated short-term volatility, we think having a long-term orientated approach has become more valuable in this sentiment-driven market cycle....

How do climate-related risks and opportunities intersect with corporate strategy?

"We believe the risks and opportunities associated with climate change (both the energy transition and the worsening events exacerbated by climate change) should be evaluated through the lens of financial materiality. The resulting prominence within corporate strategy will naturally differ by industry and business model...."

India cannot build its next phase of economic growth without steel. But it cannot sustain that growth and meet its long-term climate goals unless it changes how that steel is produced.

In Forging Ahead: Pathways to Green Steel for India, Asia Research & Engagement (ARE) examines one of the hardest questions in India’s net-zero transition: how can the country scale steel production while reducing emissions from one of its most carbon-intensive industries?

The report details decarbonisation roadmaps for India’s steel sector and assesses transition progress at four of the country’s largest producers: Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Jindal Steel, and Jindal Stainless.

Why This Matters

India’s steel sector sits at the intersection of the country’s growth ambitions and its climate commitments. The scale of the challenge is significant:

• India’s crude steel capacity is targeted to reach 300 million tonnes by 2030–31, a 67% increase from 179.5 million tonnes in 2023–24.
• This expansion will require an estimated USD105 billion (INR 10 lakh crore) in investment.
• The industry emitted 297 million tonnes of CO₂ in 2021–22, at an average intensity of 2.36 tCO₂ per tonne of crude steel.
• India’s steel emissions intensity is around 28% higher than the global industry average of 1.85 tCO₂ per tonne.

Without decisive and rapid action, the industry risks locking in high emissions for decades to come. If India is to achieve its aim of becoming a global leader in green steel, producers must move beyond ambition and target-setting into an era of accountability and validation.

Key Findings

ARE’s analysis reveals a significant gap between companies advancing clear decarbonisation strategies and those still primarily expanding conventional capacity.

• Tata Steel has the clearest route-shift logic, particularly in Europe, with visible progress on electric arc furnace (EAF) deployment, hydrogen pilots, and emissions disclosure — but still needs to make its India transition capex and plant-level milestones more visible.
• JSW Steel shows strong execution on renewables, certification, and low-emissions positioning, but its capital expenditure profile remains heavily tied to integrated capacity expansion.
• Jindal Steel has visible building blocks around renewables, hydrogen, and efficiency but needs clearer sequencing, from intensity reduction to deeper structural decarbonisation.
• Jindal Stainless starts from a structurally stronger position due to its EAF- and scrap-linked stainless production route, making near-term decarbonisation more directly responsive to clean electricity and renewable procurement — though this reflects in-built product-mix differences rather than a like-for-like sector transition.
• The transition is moving beyond targets into delivery. The next phase will be determined not by long-term net-zero targets but by whether companies can deliver bankable, plant-level pathways that reduce emissions intensity while scaling production.

About the Report

Forging Ahead assesses India’s four steel majors across five lenses: route reality, capital expenditure alignment, near-term execution, enabler dependence, and disclosure.

The report argues that credible transition pathways require clear production route choices, capital allocation aligned with lower-emissions production, time-bound implementation milestones, and robust Measurement, Reporting, and Verification systems capable of meeting regulatory and market requirements.

These dynamics are being reinforced by policy. India’s Green Steel Taxonomy creates a measurable benchmark for emissions performance, distinguishing credible green production from vague sustainability claims. In parallel, the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is making plant-level, verifiable carbon accounting a commercial requirement for exporters.

The report is produced by ARE, an independent research and engagement organisation that brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies on sustainable development. Forging Ahead was authored by Arun Kumar (Strategic Advisor – Power Markets & Technology Innovation) and Arshiya Bhutani (Engagement & Research Manager).

Recommendations

The report’s core message is that the next phase of India’s green steel transition will be decided by bankable delivery, not targets. To lead the transition, producers and policymakers should focus on:

Making credible production route choices. Companies should articulate clear route-shift strategies and invest in enabling systems such as clean power and scrap, rather than remaining anchored to conventional blast-furnace expansion.

Aligning capital expenditure with lower-emissions production. Transition-linked capex, clean electricity procurement, and scrap and input strategies are prerequisites for credible decarbonisation at scale.

Setting time-bound execution milestones. Plant-level pathways with clear sequencing — from emissions intensity reduction to deeper structural decarbonisation — are essential to demonstrate progress.

Strengthening Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV). Robust MRV systems capable of withstanding regulatory and market scrutiny are increasingly a commercial requirement, not just a disclosure exercise.

For policymakers, the next step is to build demand through procurement standards and certification frameworks. For buyers — particularly in infrastructure and public projects — early demand signals can play a key role in scaling lower-emission steel production.

For investors and lenders, the question is no longer whether companies have net-zero commitments but whether those commitments are backed by capital allocation, project execution, and credible technology pathways.

In an upcoming webinar, Asia Research & Engagement (ARE) will present its analysis of two industries that are critical to India’s transition: power and steel.

Our analysis will draw on two recent publications:

· ARE's Indian power sector scorecard
· ARE's Net Zero Steel assessment of Indian steel majors

The discussion will be led by Arun Kumar Singh, Strategic Advisor – Power Markets and Technology Innovation at ARE, and cover four connected themes:

· Power sector corporate performance
· Electricity market pricing signals 
· Steel sector transition credibility
· CBAM-related risks for Indian steel exporters

Why join?

· Company-level insights into the credibility of transition pathways across India's power and steel sectors
· Where capital is being deployed — and where delivery risks remain
· Practical questions investors and lenders can ask companies on capex, execution, storage, emissions disclosure, and CBAM preparedness

Alphabet and Meta face multiple shareholder proposals on their AI oversight, following significant regulatory fines and a lost social media addiction lawsuit.

The proposals seek better AI governance to address financial risks. With Canbury’s 4C framework, we consider a company’s Commitment and Capability to tell what it aspires to do and whether it has built the apparatus to act. Conduct and Consequence tell us whether its oversight is working.

The challenge for investors (and boards) is distinguishing the companies that have committed to governing AI well from those that are actually doing it. Given AI’s potential to disrupt operations and business models, shareholders want to know who is prepared.

FIR publishes the results of several months of discussions

The FIR publishes a summary of its ESG workshops between companies and investors, held between March and September 2025 with eight SBF 120-listed companies (Bouygues, Carrefour, Engie, Kering, Orange, Rubis, Veolia, Wavestone) and several investors (including Candriam, Crédit Mutuel AM, ERAFP, Generali AM, LFDE, Rothschild & Co AM, Sycomore AM).

All convinced of the importance of high-quality engagement, these investors are committed to promoting best market practices. The meetings, organised in pairs of companies and held under Chatham House rules, opened a constructive discussion  space to improve engagement practices on ESG topics.

This research update provides a list of assessed banks, methodology enhancements and the process and timeline for 2026.

Understanding exactly what constitutes a climate solution is challenging with definitions diverging across frameworks and jurisdictions. This has important implications for investors seeking to allocate climate capital to finance the low-carbon transition, write Algirdas Brochard, Shafaq Ashraf, Ella Davies, Ákos Hajagos-Tóth, Valentin Jahn and Seyed Alireza Modirzadeh.

This commentary complements the TPI Centre's public lecture, Investable transition opportunities: what counts as a climate solution?, on 14 May available in person and online. The recording is available on the website now. 

Bloomberg Intelligence’s FICC Focus podcast series, Credit Crunch, featured Patrick Drum, portfolio manager of the Amana Participation Fund, on April 20, 2026, discussing the sukuk market.

The episode is titled Credit Crunch: Saturna’s Drum on Sukuk Growth, Geopolitical Risk

This white paper aims to educate investors about the U.S. dollar sukuk market, an asset class that remains largely unfamiliar to many investors yet has demonstrated some of the highest risk-adjusted returns across multiple time periods among developed- and emerging-market fixed-income benchmarks.

U.S. dollar sukuk are income-producing securities that comply with Shariah principles.

This primer provides a comprehensive overview of the investment characteristics and market landscape of U.S. dollar sukuk, including an analysis of their return, risk, and correlation profile, while also explaining some of the factors that contribute to their stability and resilience.

EOS at Federated Hermes Limited publishes 2025 Annual Review, with full engagement and voting highlights.

In 2026, investor stewardship will need to increasingly focus on systemic economic risks and opportunities alongside the financial performance of individual investments. Universal owners are widely invested in the economy, with long-term investment horizons, so absolute returns matter. Indeed, it’s arguable that the performance of the benchmark can be of greater value than relative returns.

With this in mind, we believe that stewardship needs to extend beyond engagement with companies to include policy and market best practice engagement, to help address systemic risks. When carried out effectively, this will provide the policy and industry environment in which companies can grasp the opportunities that new market trends afford. This will help to preserve long-term value for our clients, and their beneficiaries.

The explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has presented investors with both extraordinary opportunity and material risk since it burst onto the mainstream in the early 2020s.

It has streamlined workflows, automated tasks and, in many cases, posed a direct threat to entire industries and workforces. But, for those looking to actively participate in the AI revolution while still protecting portfolios from its power of “creative destruction,” we believe there is one sector that sits in a genuinely unique position: health care – and biotech in particular.

Unlike other industries facing displacement, biotech is being amplified by AI, not replaced by it. In our view, AI‑driven innovation, the sector’s defensive characteristics, and rate‑sensitive upside places biotech at the center of a compelling opportunity that lets investors play both offense and defense.

At a glance:

• Over $34 billion of private capital flowed into robotics-related companies in 2025 – more than twice that of 2024.¹ Yet some of the best-funded companies are still in the early stages of commercialisation, with scaled deployments years away.
• Physical world foundation models, which include both vision language action and world models, are emerging as the next frontier of artificial intelligence, but data remains a critical bottleneck.
• We see investment opportunities in robotic hardware and the software ‘picks and shovels’ of physical AI, including companies providing data, testing infrastructure and simulation tools.

In this report we outline the ways in which, in the most recent calendar year, we have implemented the principles of the UK Stewardship Code as signatories.

A New Paradigm

In many respects, ESG does not appear to be shrinking at all. Instead, it may be evolving from a thematic investment trend into something much more deeply embedded within mainstream finance and corporate operations.

For anyone following headlines around ESG over the past two years, the narrative can sometimes feel contradictory. Political backlash in parts of the US, fund outflows from some labelled ESG products, and a visible retreat from explicit “ESG” branding have all contributed to a perception that the sustainability market may be slowing down. Yet for many professionals working in and around the sector, the lived experience feels very different. The volume of reports, commentary, data products, conferences, hiring activity and specialist services continues to grow at an extraordinary pace.

The ESG Ecosystem Is Expanding

One of the clearest signs of this is the sheer expansion of the surrounding ecosystem. Five years ago, the market for sustainability-related services was relatively narrow. Today there are hundreds of firms focused on climate analytics, carbon accounting, biodiversity data, supply-chain monitoring, transition finance, ESG software, reporting automation and regulatory compliance. Artificial intelligence is accelerating this trend further, with a growing number of providers offering AI-enabled CSRD mapping, sustainability data extraction, disclosure drafting and ESG research tools.

At the same time, sustainability responsibilities are increasingly being integrated into core business functions rather than sitting inside standalone ESG teams. Climate and sustainability reporting now routinely appear inside annual reports and financial filings. Banks are embedding transition finance specialists inside investment banking and corporate lending teams. Asset managers are integrating stewardship, climate risk and sustainability analysis into broader investment processes. In many organisations, ESG has become less of a separate initiative and more of an operating framework.

Reporting and Content Volumes Continue to Grow

The explosion in content and reporting also suggests a market that is still expanding structurally. Asset managers, banks, consultants, accounting firms, law firms and data providers now publish a constant stream of sustainability commentary, stewardship reports, climate transition papers, biodiversity research and regulatory analysis. What once felt like a specialist niche increasingly resembles part of the normal information infrastructure of global finance.

Importantly, much of this activity is now being driven by regulation and operational requirements rather than purely by marketing demand. Frameworks such as CSRD, ISSB, SFDR and TNFD have created large-scale reporting and compliance obligations that require companies to build systems, hire specialists and invest in data capabilities. Even firms that have become more cautious around the term “ESG” are often increasing investment in climate risk, sustainability reporting and transition planning behind the scenes.

ESG May Be Maturing Rather Than Retreating

The language itself is also changing. Rather than talking exclusively about ESG, firms now refer to transition finance, resilience, climate strategy, sustainable infrastructure, stewardship, human capital or corporate sustainability. In some cases, the terminology has softened while the underlying activity has become more sophisticated and institutionalised.

This may explain why there can appear to be a disconnect between media narratives and day-to-day market reality. The highly visible “ESG boom” phase of the early 2020s may have peaked, but what has followed looks less like collapse and more like industrialisation. Sustainability has moved deeper into the plumbing of finance, regulation and corporate reporting.

For professionals who spend their days reading sustainability research, fund commentary and corporate reporting, the sense that ESG remains highly active is therefore not imagined. If anything, the market today appears broader, more operationally embedded and more information-rich than at any point in its history.

Key Takeaways

• ESG activity appears to be evolving rather than disappearing.
• The sustainability ecosystem now includes far more data, software and AI-enabled providers.
• ESG responsibilities are increasingly embedded into mainstream finance and operations.
• Sustainability reporting and commentary volumes continue to grow rapidly.
• Regulation has created durable long-term demand for ESG infrastructure and services.
• The terminology may be changing, but the underlying market activity remains substantial.
