AI is transforming ESG analysis—but its value is highly dependent on the nature of disclosures. SustainoMetric’s assessment across 50 companies and 30 ESG indicators finds that AI delivers the strongest results when disclosures are structured, explicit, and measurable.

AI excels at extracting and standardizing information such as emissions data, governance structures, policy frameworks, and quantified sustainability targets, enabling faster, more consistent, and scalable analysis. Its performance is particularly strong with numerical and well-defined data, where comparability and clarity are high.

The key insight: structure is the enabler of AI performance in ESG. Where disclosures follow standardized formats, AI significantly enhances efficiency and reliability.

However, ESG insights are not always structured. Critical areas like supply chains, workforce practices, and governance quality remain context-driven and require human judgment.

The future of ESG analysis lies in a hybrid approach leveraging AI for structured data while relying on human expertise for interpretation and context.

As the energy transition reshapes markets, investors are seeking clearer ways to assess how transition risks and opportunities may affect portfolio outcomes. In this paper we analyzed more than 37,000 mutual funds and ETFs globally to examine whether transition characteristics were linked to financial performance. 

The results suggest they were. Between 2022 and 2025, higher fund Energy Transition Scores were associated with stronger returns, particularly among climate- and transition-focused funds. A one-point increase was associated with +1.7% per year higher returns, rising to nearly +3% for climate and transition funds. Managing exposure to transition pressures — such as policy and technology risks — showed the strongest relationship with performance, while transition readiness was more closely tied to improved decarbonization outcomes.

"Carbon footprints show where a fund has been. But do they reveal how it’s positioned for the road ahead? 

In this episode, we unpack insights from Positioning Portfolios for the Energy Transition, analyzing more than 37,000 funds representing USD 50 trillion in assets. The research finds that funds with stronger energy transition positioning were associated with higher historical returns — and stronger links to decarbonization outcomes."

A recent survey by the European Central Bank (ECB) highlights the impact of ecosystem-service deterioration on the financial stability of the eurozone. It shows that more than 70% of businesses in the region, representing nearly 75% of outstanding bank loans to businesses, rely heavily on at least one ecosystem service.

In this study, the ECB also highlights, through the “feedback loop” concept, the endogenous nature of the Natural Capital related risk. Financial institutions are both highly exposed to activities that depend on ecosystem services and contribute to their degradation by financing activities that put pressure on natural capital, including climate change.

2025 was a turbulent year for responsible investing. We saw a meaningful shift in the mood around the environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts of companies and investors alike, with some walking back commitments to everything from DEI to climate change.

This was primarily because of the shifting power dynamics in the U.S., but not exclusively so. The rumblings were coming from many jurisdictions, including the European Union and Canada. It would also be a mistake to think that this shift started with the first 60 days of the new U.S. administration, as the change in mood had been growing steadily over the last couple of years.

Diversification has always been a moving target. What counted as a well-diversified equity portfolio 20 years ago bears little resemblance to what investors hold today. Yet, even as portfolios have expanded in complexity, many of the assumptions behind diversification have remained largely unchanged.

Extract: "In our view, infrastructure fundamentals are robust and the growth outlook is as strong as we have seen in the 21-year history of our strategy. Infrastructure offers opportunities for resilient growth that we believe are difficult to duplicate elsewhere in the market. While AI drew the most attention again this year, other secular drivers such as asset renewal, energy security, decarbonization, and data growth are fueling durable investment cycles. We believe these themes support long‑term opportunities across sectors, reinforcing infrastructure’s potential for sustained growth and stability."

Extract: Structural megatrends, such as technological innovation, demographic changes, the emergence of a multipolar world, and sustainable value creation, are increasingly influencing capital allocation strategies. These powerful forces are moving investor focus from short-term trading toward long-term opportunities. From these megatrends, we have identified six investable themes that we believe are particularly poised to benefit SMID companies.

Key takeaways

• This report outlines how and why we engage with companies on sustainability issues, the theory underpinning our approach, and the observable trends emerging from our dialogues.
• Many companies are maintaining or even raising their climate targets, investing heavily in water, waste, and circular infrastructure; prioritizing employee well-being; strengthening supply chain oversight; and increasingly linking executive pay to these sustainability outcomes.
• Looking ahead, we remain committed to deepening our engagement efforts, with a focus on emerging priorities such as biodiversity protection, circular economy practices, and the responsible use of AI.

Spain’s latest regulatory update eases short term pressure on renewable-energy generators, particularly solar PV, by aligning remuneration better with market conditions, but the backward-looking methodology means under compensation is likely to persist.

Europe is well placed to absorb a short-lived rise in energy prices, but vulnerabilities vary across countries given diverse energy-mixes. For the US, the war may drive higher fiscal costs and deeper political divisions ahead of the mid-term elections.

"Through sustainable investing, Wespath seeks strong financial returns while aligning with our shared values. This report includes recent highlights, including Wespath’s work on affordable housing, climate change, human rights and more!"

"Since the end of September [2025], Wespath has published a report and white paper on sustainable investing that together total nearly 100 pages....

...Instead, this is our attempt to explain Wespath’s sustainable investing approach in a more engaging and accessible format without glossing over the complexities. Proponents of sustainable investing often fall into the trap of making it too dense, or overly simplistic and missing crucial context. Hopefully our own version of “MythBusters” will strike the right balance."

Circularity and reduced consumption as geopolitical weapons. Chief economist Hans Stegeman explains why global fragmentation should be accelerating rather than slowing down the sustainability transition in Europe.

This report outlines urgent reforms to ensure finance supports human dignity, ecological balance, and long-term prosperity. The proposal includes a public digital currency and a new approach to financial policy, directing finance to where it matters most.

RepRisk report reveals banks exposed to more frequent, complex, and costly business conduct risk incidents and surge in AI-driven issues

The Business Conduct Risk Intelligence Report 2026, published by RepRisk, distils the views of 500+ global C-suite leaders in banks, asset managers, asset owners, and other financial institutions, exploring how they are adopting and embedding business conduct risk data across workflows in a shifting and increasingly complex risk landscape.

• 81% executives agree that business conduct risk data will be more valuable to their company in the next three years due to more complex risks that are on the horizon.
• Most companies reported an increase in investment in business conduct risk data in the last year, and 58% reported that they had increased spend following a major incident.
• While only 16% of executives identify AI‑related conduct risks as a top material risk over the last three years, this figure rises sharply to 56% for the next three years. This shift is mirrored in preferences for data providers: executives’ trust in hybrid human–AI approaches is nearly double that of AI‑only providers (67% versus 35%).

The TPI Global Climate Transition Centre (TPI Centre) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has released its Net Zero Strategies (NZS) assessment results for the oil & gas and diversified mining sectors. NZS is a sector-specific assessment framework designed to evaluate companies' transition plans and decarbonisation strategies across their business segments. It systematically assesses how companies are planning to reach their emissions targets through a comprehensive evaluation of decarbonisation levers and capital expenditure plans.

This year’s NZS assessments evaluate the transition plans of 16 oil & gas and six diversified mining companies. These companies have a combined market capitalisation of over $2.8 trillion as of March 2026 and represent some of the world’s largest extractive companies. 

This is a weekly round-up highlighting pertinent observations from Sustainable Fitch’s Primary Market Reviews (PMRs),  a comparable preliminary view on impact and EU taxonomy alignment of new labelled bond deals upon their announcement.

Last week, our PMR data showed issuance stayed subdued, with just eight new bonds issued or announced within our purview, implying a drop of about 20% from the weekly average of 10before the US-Iran conflict broke out on28 February2026. The mix last week was five green, two sustainability and one social bond.

APAC issuers were more active, accounting for about 40%of the new labelled deals.

Since the 2015 Paris Agreement put climate commitments on the global agenda, a new interesting question for investors, policymakers, and academics has arisen: are green companies outperforming their brown, high emitting counterparts? While comparing clean versus dirty sounds like a simple comparison, a surprisingly tangled financial story about expectations, risk, politics, and the price of capital lies underneath.

Summary

• Second Trump term has changed the landscape for climate investing
• US policy reversals gave brown companies in the US a returns boost
• Climate leaders still outperform laggards, reflecting earnings potential

As the result of a FIR working group led by Liudmila Strakodonskaya, Portfolio Manager, ESG Analyst at Comgest and leader of the working group, this document aims to identify concrete levers for engagement for European investors with US companies on several topics: It should be remembered that robust and balanced governance relies on a diverse composition of boards of directors and a sufficiently high level of independence among directors.

• The composition and functioning of boards of directors
• The separation of the roles of chief executive officer and chairman
• The role of executives as board members and relations with auditors

At a ceremony held on 4 February 2026 at the Assemblée nationale, Dominique Potier, Meurthe-et-Moselle deputy and rapporteur for the Duty of Vigilance Directive, hosted the 8th FIR / A2 Consulting Award Ceremony, which recognises a CAC 40 company each year for the quality of its vigilance plan

Aurélia Smotriez, chair of the 2025 jury, handed the trophy to Gilles Vermot Desroches, Group Director of Citizenship at Schneider Electric.

What were the jury's focus areas this year? The regulatory context and the maturity of both the companies and the Award itself justified the jury's emphasis on certain criteria.

• Governance of the duty of vigilance
• The alert system put in place
• Dialogue with stakeholders
• The policy to combat climate change

It should be noted that this is the second time that Schneider Electric has been given the award, after winning first place in 2020.

Since 2021, through several position statements, the Forum for Responsible Investment (FIR) has been calling for the widespread adoption of demanding Say on Climate (SOC) as a pragmatic tool for dialogue aimed at helping companies improve their climate strategies.

At the same time, continuing its work over the last four years, the FIR is renewing its partnership with ADEME in 2026 to produce analyses of the climate strategies of European companies (including the United Kingdom and Switzerland) that submit them to a vote of their shareholders at annual general meetings. To this end, FIR and ADEME will once again be supported by the Ethos Foundation and the World Benchmarking Alliance, which are responsible for European assessments outside France based on the ACT methodology. While the FIR focuses more on assessing corporate transparency, the ACT methodology aims to analyze both the ambition and credibility of climate plans.

To kick off the 2026 season, an initial joint analysis by the FIR and ADEME focuses on the climate strategy of OVHcloud, which has been put to a vote by its shareholders at the company general meeting on February 12.

China's solar industry is a poster child for the country's economic rise over the last four decades.

Focal points

• Chinese local subsidies for solar production, installation and R&D were a major driver of the sector’s explosive growth and global cost declines.
• Industrial policies explained roughly 40% to 50% of changes in innovation, revenues and prices from 2004 to 2020, with large welfare gains before environmental benefits are counted.
• Solar offers evidence that targeted green industrial policy can accelerate innovation, though design matters and lessons may not transfer cleanly to all sectors.

We need to count energy from the perspective of the consumer in order to understand the changes sweeping the energy sector.

There are four battles in the energy system and electrotech is set to win three of them.

The development and usage of AI is rapidly accelerating, placing increasing demand on our world’s natural resources. This is particularly salient in areas where data centres are located, with energy and water resources already showing visible strain.

At the same time, AI systems have the potential to rapidly speed up the transition to net-zero by optimising energy systems and enabling innovation and discovery.

We are continuously seeing how developments in AI are shaping the market, whether it's resulting in job redundancies, child safety discussions, or national security. AI is scaling faster than the guardrails around it, showcasing how Responsible AI has become a material issue for companies and investors. In this paper, our Senior ESG analyst Rita Wyshelesky highlights our research approach, our proprietary Responsible AI due diligence framework and engagement priorities.

Focal points

• The paper argues Responsible AI is becoming a material investor issue as adoption outpaces safeguards and incidents, bias, misinformation and systemic disruption proliferate.
• It defines Responsible AI around fairness, explainability, privacy, robustness and accountability, and links weak governance to legal, regulatory and reputational costs.
• Carmignac presents a due-diligence framework and argues firms that manage AI ethics well should ultimately earn valuation premiums via lower risk, stronger innovation and talent or brand advantages.

The world is undergoing a structural shift from fossil fuels to clean electricity, driven by investor pressure, the electrification of industry and transport, the explosive growth of data-intensive technologies, and decarbonization goals.

Canada has an historic opportunity to lead the global clean industrial economy.

Now it has to deliver clean power at the scale and speed that industry and investors need.

But without urgent action, up to $220 billion in potential capital investment is at risk, alongside up to 80,000 direct jobs.

In other words, Canada’s clean electricity edge is under threat.

Focal points

• The report surveys more than 150 innovation highlights from 2025 and draws on practitioner input from over 40 countries to assess progress and bottlenecks in energy technology development.
• It focuses on the technologies, policies and funders shaping the innovation frontier, with attention to energy security, sustainability and economic benefit.

Technological advances are expanding where geothermal electricity can be produced – making it a cost-competitive, secure alternative to gas for industry and other power-intensive users.

Aligning modelling of economic damages with climate science

Focal points

• The report argues that many economic damage models understate physical climate risk as warming approaches 2°C, creating false confidence for investors and policymakers.
• Drawing on structured expert judgement from climate scientists across 12 countries, it shows risk becoming less linear and more uncertain than many models assume.
• It calls for policymakers, supervisors and investors to prioritise precaution, resilience and stress-testing against correlated, economy-wide disruption rather than single best-estimate outputs.

Today, health plays an increasingly important role in financial stability and long-term investment performance. Poor population health is no longer a distant or abstract concern; it is already shaping economic outcomes, regulatory expectations, and corporate resilience across sectors.

Investors are increasingly recognising this shift.

Weak management of health impacts is generating legal, operational and reputational risks for companies, while system-wide challenges such as antimicrobial resistance and air pollution threaten long-term economic growth.  At the same time, promoting health can strengthen resilience and unlock long-term opportunities.

This makes integrating health into investment decision-making consistent with financial, fiduciary, and societal responsibilities. 

The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) is a cornerstone of the EU’s sustainable finance framework and was originally announced as part of the EU Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth.

It aims to improve transparency, prevent greenwashing in investment products, and ultimately direct capital towards sustainable activities. Since the start of its application in 2021, the SFDR has played a central role in embedding sustainability considerations into investment practices. However, its implementation has also revealed shortcomings, particularly in terms of usability, comparability, and investor understanding. One of the most significant issues has been the emergence of a de facto product labelling system, with financial market participants misusing the Article 8 and 9 disclosure criteria as “sustainability labels” when marketing their financial products.

On 20 November 2025, the European Commission presented its legislative proposal to revise the SFDR, which seeks to address these gaps by introducing a formal product categorisation system to replace the current use of Article 8 and Article 9 product classifications.

Assessing 3,500 companies in developed markets

Focal points

• The report shows gender-equality scores still improving, but leadership thresholds are rising faster; the Top 100 cut-off reached 71% in 2026, up from 63% in 2022.
• Women remain underrepresented in the most senior roles, with CEO and workforce representation unchanged year-on-year even as other organisational levels improved.
