By Thomas Abrams, Head of Human Rights, Social and Governance Issues, PRI

The rapid development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) is widely recognised as a material investment issue, yet many investors are unsure where to begin.

AI – and its potential impacts on people, the environment, and corporate performance – is evolving quickly, while governance and regulation are not keeping pace , leading to an “AI governance gap”. In the last three months alone, AI developments have impacted the workforces and share prices of white-collar sectors from software to finance. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 suggests that AI and information processing will affect 86% of businesses by 2030.

While even the medium-term impact of these changes remains nebulous, and the technology may feel complex or unfamiliar, investors can still take meaningful action to mitigate risk whilst realising opportunities. Many of the underlying questions investors need to ask of companies or managers – about good governance, accountability, risk management and alignment with international standards – are not new. Situating AI risks within the frame of systemic sustainability or ESG issues is a practical starting point and a way of ensuring that AI considerations are not siloed.

What vehicle types dominate the US market in 2026?

Light-truck sales dominated for the 13th straight year to close out 202, High auto loan delinquencies in reached a 15-year peak in Q4 but show no signs of widespread credit contraction. More affordable monthly payments could become available to consumers in 2026 as leasing is predicted to recover steadily. 

Crossovers struggled for the first time in over a decade, but light trucks remain a high-profit sector across automakers. With affordability concerns and constrained EV adoption, hybrid vehicle models are gaining ground, which account for over 12% of sales. As for consumers, strong demand for mobility is present. Annual miles driven rose for the fifth consecutive year, signaling opportunities for automakers and investors alike to align strategies with rising demand patterns.

Asset managers' voting decisions vary substantially by location and firm size.

It’s been a bumpy ride for sustainability-focused investors over the last year or so. 

This year’s proxy season is getting into full swing against the backdrop of continued geopolitical and economic volatility— demanding answers to some tricky questions about what to prioritize in sustainable investing.  

And that’s all coming on top of reduced communication between investors and companies on environmental and social matters, prompted by abrupt changes in the policy landscape. 

The latest Morningstar research paper on asset manager proxy voting takes a close look at how US and European asset managers are voting on sustainability resolutions backed by a significant proportion of independent shareholders.

Segregated mandates emerge as a preferred solution for asset owners seeking greater control.

The divide between how the largest US asset managers and their European asset owner clients approach investment stewardship—both in terms of approaches and priorities—has grown in recent years. It’s a conundrum that asset owners continue to wrestle with in 2026. 

The much-reduced presence of US asset managers on the latest signatory list for the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative well illustrates this. Political and regulatory hostility to all things “ESG” in the US—first in several states, and now within the White House—has undoubtedly risen over recent years.  

In turn, this has given US asset managers little room to accommodate the kind of ambitious goal-setting on climate-related stewardship that we saw earlier in the 2020s.

Methane is responsible for roughly 0.5°C of current global warming. Over 80 times more potent than CO₂ over 20 years, methane is the fastest lever we have to slow near-term heating. Agriculture, including livestock and rice, generates around 40% of methane emissions, more than fossil fuels.

However, banks are failing to act on rising methane emissions in the agriculture sector.

Planet Tracker examines 25 banks that provide and facilitate finance to 15 of the largest meat, dairy and rice companies. These banks provide lending and underwriting worth USD 159 billion to these 15 companies.   The companies generate an estimated 1.3 million tonnes of methane emissions per year, highly concentrated in a small number of multinational meat and dairy processors, including Tyson Foods and JBS.

Key findings

Analysis of their policies and targets shows that:

  • All 25 banks have targets for reducing GHG emissions from high-emitting sectors but only two banks have targets specifically for Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Uses (AFOLU) sectors: Barclays (UK dairy and livestock only) and Rabobank (10 agriculture sectors).
  • None of the 25 banks have policies or targets explicitly for agricultural methane. Rabobank is the only bank to name methane, but its commitment is to “significantly reduce” by 2050 rather than a specific medium-term (e.g. 2030) methane reduction target.
  • Only one bank (Deutsche Bank) has a stated policy of withdrawing funding from companies “not willing or able to transition away from carbon-intensive activities” and only then as a last resort.
  • Only JPMorgan, Barclays and Citi have GHG targets that also cover arranging bond financing (“facilitated debt”); the other 22 banks have targets for bank loans only (“financed emissions”). Yet bonds account for 96% of total debt of the 15 companies analysed.
  • Bonds (rather than loans) account for 96% of the companies’ debt. However, most banks’ emissions targets apply only to lending, excluding the far greater climate impact of their role in arranging bond financing.  

Banks should use their leverage to reduce these emissions by restricting or withdrawing finance from companies that fail to act.

Planet Tracker recommends that:

  • Banks adopt robust and credible policies for methane emissions from the food and agriculture sector.
  • These policies should cover both financed and facilitated debt, and include a commitment to exiting companies that are not willing or able to transition away from methane-intensive activities.
  • Standard setters require banks’ disclosure of facilitated methane emissions.

  • Sustainable funds recorded net outflows of $86.4 billion in 2H 2025, more than offsetting inflows earlier in the year. Europe-domiciled sustainable funds recorded outflows for the first time, although much of this was driven by reallocations to bespoke mandates.
  • Sustainable funds delivered median returns of 5.3% in 2H 2025, just below traditional funds at 5.5%. Sustainable funds outperformed in most regions, but differences in geographic exposure offset this overall."

The artificial intelligence (AI) boom is at the forefront of one of the most transformational periods in modern history. However, the rise of AI comes with an increasing demand for water to cool the energy-intensive data centers that power AI computations. As the water withdrawal required to quench global AI demand is expected to reach up to 6.6 billion cubic meters in 2027, and the UN predicts that nearly half of the world’s population will face the risk of serious water scarcity by 2040, many investors are paying closer attention to the sustainability risks associated with rising data center demand. 

This report highlights the key water risk trends associated with artificial intelligence usage, and assesses how companies in the Software & Services industry are currently managing their water risks. It also provides a case study on the Big 4 data center companies – Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft – assessing their relative performance as the market leaders in AI investment.

Markets respond differently to risk. So does portfolio performance.

Portfolio resilience, return potential, and purpose‑aligned priorities are not mutually exclusive.

Our latest research examines how different regions price risk, how investors can evaluate trade‑offs between resilience, returns, and sustainability, and how these dynamics shape portfolio construction with lasting performance implications.

Building on our 2025 analysis, we study stress‑tested US and EU equity market data across multiple major market shocks to demonstrate how portfolios perform under pressure—and why outcomes differ by market structure and regulatory environment.

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.

  • The level of concentration in market capitalization-based indexes has increased in recent years and can be more pronounced in indexes that select "best-in-class" companies, such as the MSCI SRI Indexes.
  • MSCI developed the concentration control mechanism (CCM) that seeks to mitigate high concentration in selection-based indexes while preserving the diversification and sustainability objectives.
  • CCM also increases sector representation by reducing the weight of large securities and adding new ones.

(https://www.msci.com/research-and-insights/quick-take/managing-sustainability-risks-more-stable-businesses)

Not all sustainability investments carry equal weight for corporate performance. For executives making the internal case, our analysis offers a clear takeaway: Companies that strongly managed their most financially material sustainability risks tended, over a 12-year study period, to run more stable and predictable businesses than peers that did not.

The finding draws on data from more than 13,500 companies. Controlling for size, sector and region, those in the top quintile of MSCI ESG Ratings showed consistently lower variability in both sales and cash flows than bottom-quintile peers — a difference significant at the 99% confidence level. The pattern held across 10 of 11 sectors, suggesting a structural rather than incidental relationship. 

The results are consistent with the logic underpinning MSCI’s ESG Ratings model, which identifies environmental and social risks that are industry-specific and financially material, rather than treating sustainability as a uniform set of obligations. A chemicals company, for example, faces a different risk profile from a retailer or a bank.

"As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has grown over the past few years, so have the energy needs of the data centers that power AI. In 2024, US data centers used approximately 200 terawatt-hours of electricity, about what it takes to power the country of Thailand for a year. And in 2025, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the US increased by 2.4%, driven in part by the expansion of data centers for AI and the increased combustion of coal to keep up with the growth in electricity demand.

What does this mean for the carbon footprint of companies involved in AI? We sat down with Michael Gillenwater, the executive director, dean, and co-founder of the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute and a member of Dimensional’s network of ESG researchers and academics, to better understand the challenges of carbon accounting and the implications of widespread adoption of AI on companies’ carbon footprints.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, Gillenwater explains the basics of carbon accounting. In Part 2, we explore how the growth in energy usage by AI data centers will be reflected in a company’s carbon footprint."

Show the math: with different agendas, shareholder proposals want to know if Amazon can really achieve its 2040 net zero goal

Amazon has made bold commitments to net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, which has seemingly united pro-ESG and anti-ESG groups in wanting to know if the company can really achieve this in the face of a massive data center build out. This is a question all shareholders may want more information on given Amazon’s potential $150 billion data center spend.

Environmentally-focused As You Sow and Mercy Investments and conservative National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) have each filed shareholder proposals on Amazon’s 2026 proxy that want to know if the Everything Store is really committed to keeping its climate pledge given the massive energy needs for its data center expansion. They come from different places but are ultimately asking the same thing.

  • The 13th edition of the Carbon Clean200™, released February 2026, ranks 200 publicly traded companies by sustainable revenues; collective revenues from clean-economy activities reached a record US$2.8 trillion in 2025 — up 12% year-on-year and 710% since 2017.
  • The Clean200 has outperformed fossil fuel and broad market benchmarks over a 10-year horizon: US$10,000 invested on 1 July 2016 would have grown to US$38,290 by January 2026, versus US$21,100 for the MSCI ACWI/Energy fossil fuel benchmark.
  • The 2026 list is concentrated in Asia-Pacific (36%), Europe (33%) and North America (26%); IT companies generate the largest share of sustainable revenue at US$782 billion, followed by Consumer Discretionary (US$649 billion) and Industrials (US$611 billion).

Focal points

  • ACGA identifies persistent governance shortcomings in the revised ¥18,800 tender offer for Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO), despite improvements including a positive Special Committee recommendation and voluntary alignment with the updated TSE code of corporate conduct.
  • The majority-of-minority condition remains diluted in the updated tender offer documentation, and no active solicitation of competing bids was conducted — a passive approach to price discovery that ACGA considers inadequate for a transaction of this scale and governance significance.
  • For global investors and governance reformers, the TICO transaction is framed as a referendum on the credibility of Japan’s corporate governance revolution — with the founding Toyoda family identified as the primary beneficiary of the deal structure.
