Europe is entering a decade in which competitiveness depends on resilience, clarity of rules, and the ability of companies and investors to plan with confidence. EU sustainable finance is not an add-on to this strategy – it is one of the few areas where Europe already has global leadership and where the market outcomes demonstrate clear economic value.

There’s a hot new theme in the global solar industry: solar panels in space. But why the sudden interest, who is leading the way in exploring the potential, and what are the key milestones to watch?

Energy storage is the world’s fastest-growing cleantech. We see it as a key enabler for the global energy transition, supporting the further rise of renewables and electrification – and we expect its explosive growth to continue.

The latest Net-Zero Navigator report covers the decarbonisation of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and the many contradictions it presents. It is responsible for more than half of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and more than three-quarters of global coal consumption. It has also doubled the installed renewable energy capacity since 2015 and produces many of the essential components of low-carbon technology.

A successful transition will mean addressing both the fossil-based status quo and the cleantech momentum of the future. We view two factors as key drivers in determining the pace of APAC’s energy transition: the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors, and the changing nature of the region’s energy demand.

2025 was a pivotal year for UBS, as we advanced the integration of Credit Suisse, strengthened our foundations and deepened our support for clients navigating an increasingly dynamic and complex environment.

As we build on this momentum, innovation and collaboration across the Group continue to shape how we deliver for our stakeholders. But long-term success is also rooted in the responsibility we share to help shape a more sustainable future – for our clients, our people and the communities we are part of. Our efforts remain anchored in our ambition to position UBS as a leader in sustainability and are guided by three pillars:

(i) Protect: manage our business in alignment with our sustainable, long-term strategy and evolving standards;

(ii) Grow: embed an innovative sustainability and impact offering across all our business divisions; and

(iii) Attract: be the bank of choice for clients and employees.

The affordability of electricity has become a major obstacle to electrification, digital infrastructure growth and the broader energy transition in many markets globally.

This has resulted in fast‑forming policy and regulatory responses being decided on a market-by-market basis, through levy shifts, tariff redesign, and capacity and grid decisions, all of which will present important risks to public- and private-sector entities in the coming years.

Yet the forces driving electricity price changes vary widely across regions, and their impacts are equally uneven. Consequently, regulatory responses will remain fragmented, perpetuating an uneven competitive landscape that could hinder progress toward a low‑carbon electricity future.

Increasing geopolitical fragmentation and uncertainty about the reliability of long-standing alliances, exacerbated by ongoing global conflicts, have raised new questions from investors and other stakeholders about how to navigate investments in defense and defense-related sectors in light of their commitments to responsible investment practices.

Here S&P Global Ratings responds to frequently asked questions from market participants about this evolving issue.

In 2020, the world received a wake-up call on ocean plastic pollution. The Pew Charitable Trusts’ Breaking the Plastic Wave report found that, without action, the annual flow of plastic into the ocean would nearly triple by 2040. Five years later, the alarm is ringing louder. 2025’s report reveals that despite rising global awareness and policy efforts, plastic pollution has increased by 21% since the original study.

However, the report also provides a credible, evidence-based roadmap on the way forward. Annual plastic pollution can be cut by 83% by 2040, but only if we undertake a total system transformation across the value chain. This will involve measures such as reducing production, improving design and expanding waste management systems.

Yet none of this is possible without transparency. Accurate disclosures enable governments to design effective policies, helps organizations identify risks and opportunities in their supply chains, and empower investors to direct capital towards new businesses and innovations in the circular economy.

Bosch Group, a leading global supplier of technology and services, strives to facilitate decarbonization commitments across more than 3,200 suppliers spanning different sectors in their supply chain.

Global supply chains are under unprecedented pressure. From geopolitical shocks to extreme weather events, supply chains are increasingly unstable and unreliable – creating a domino effect of operational and financial challenges for procurement teams.

Even amidst this volatility, the companies that thrive will be those that turn environmental data into action. By engaging suppliers, integrating disclosure data into procurement, and addressing climate and nature-related impacts, businesses can manage their risk by building supply chains that are sustainable, resilient and profitable.

The report highlights key use cases in which companies are managing critical supply chain risks through a combination of approaches and data points.

CDP has tracked ten of the highest impact cattle and soy traders, assessing their progress against the good practice guidance of the Accountability Framework initiative (AFi) and providing targeted recommendations to achieve and transparently report deforestation- and conversion-free (DCF) production and sourcing.

This assessment covers nine prominent traders that disclosed publicly between 2001 and 2024: Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Amaggi, Bunge, BRF S.A., Cargill, Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC), JBS, Marfrig Global Foods S/A, and Minerva Foods. LDC is included for the first time in 2024 following its public disclosure. COFCO responds privately and is therefore excluded from this assessment.

Ambitious targets to eliminate deforestation and other ecosystem conversion in commodity supply chains were set for the end of 2025. This summary assessment charts progress using CDP’s commodity management KPIs as companies prepare their 2025 reports for the 2026 disclosure cycle.

CDP's second annual Corporate Health Check, produced in collaboration with Oliver Wyman, examines how the world's largest companies are progressing on their environmental commitments and what this means for their financial performance.

Drawing on data disclosed through CDP, the report shows the levers these business leaders are pulling to improve performance and take advantage of environmental opportunities. Companies scoring at Leadership level – the highest rating of the four categories in the CDP assessment – are setting the pace for corporate action across climate and nature while also realizing the financial benefits.

Building environmental and climate resilience is not only about managing risks. Our analysis shows that Leadership companies in this year’s assessment realized a total of US$218 billion in environmental opportunities over the last 12 months. Despite a challenging political and economic landscape, large corporations across sectors and regions remain committed to acting on their environmental risks.

Developments over the last year have prompted a further recalibration of perspectives towards climate & sustainability. In this note we explore key themes for 2026, incorporating the intersection of geopolitics and business competitiveness.

AI deployment has become a defining strategic priority for the private sector, promising to enhance productivity, innovation, and competitiveness. Ensuring the technology drives prosperity and progress for every American is a top national priority.

As companies race to adopt AI, significant questions are emerging about what it means to pursue these new business imperatives in ways that empower American workers, strengthen local communities, create good jobs, protect consumers, and build trust in business and capitalism.  

Key Findings

1. Only 53% of Americans believe large U.S. companies are very or somewhat just, the lowest percentage since we began this polling in 2019. Only 35% believe our current form of capitalism is working for the average American. 

2. This is at odds with the expectations of the public. 80% believe business can be a force for positive social change and 89% agree it’s important that companies promote an economy that serves all Americans.

3. When we dig deeper, Americans care most about worker-related issues such as providing a fair and living wage, supporting worker well-being, and offering advancement and training opportunities, alongside employee benefits.

4. As AI and automation become even more dominant in 2026, leaders have a significant challenge ahead to innovate and grow their business while continuing to invest in and cultivate their workforce. Our recently released research on perceptions of AI amongst corporate leaders, investors, and the American public aims to help them identify key considerations for responsible AI deployment at scale.

The FIR is organising a webinar the 1st of April from 14:15 to 15:00 cet to present its working paper published in early March, ‘Thoughts on corporate governance in the US’. The paper examines the differences between EU and US governance rules and explores practical ways to engage with US companies on good governance practices.

The result of a FIR working group launched in 2025 and led by Liudmila Strakodonskaya, Portfolio Manager and ESG Analyst at Comgest, this paper aims to identify concrete engagement levers for European investors with US companies on several topics:

• the composition and functioning of boards of directors
• the separation of the CEO’s functions
• the role of executives as board members
• relations with auditors

Leanna Rodriguez, an analyst at SOCinvestmentgroup, will introduce this webinar with an overview of the outlook for shareholder engagement in the United States. Liudmila Strakodonskaya will then discuss the reasons that led the FIR to undertake this work, and Claire Mouchotte and Charles Pinel will outline the main themes of the working paper. Lionel Brun-Valicon will conclude by outlining the next steps and presenting possible avenues for good corporate governance in US companies.

Insights from SustainoMetric’s Assessment Across 50 Companies

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."

Responsible investing themes to watch for in 2026

• A focus on positive outcomes
• Clean technology
• AI issues come to the forefront
• Building out infrastructure responsibly
• Policy outlook for Canada

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.

---

Six thematic areas driving SMID opportunities

• "Foundational technologies: Focuses on the critical building blocks of the digital economy, including AI infrastructure, computing, software, and cybersecurity.
• Critical infrastructure: Targets essential infrastructure underpinning economic and societal resilience, such as power and grid infrastructure, social infrastructure, water and agriculture, and national security-related industries.
• Robotics & automation: Captures the adoption of automation across industries, including factory automation, autonomous vehicles, humanoid robotics, and drone technologies.
• Healthcare innovation: Invests in transformative healthcare solutions, spanning digital health, precision medicine, preventive care, and surgical robotics among others.
• NextGen consumer: Addresses evolving consumer behavior through exposure to digital commerce, differentiated brands, financial innovation, and gaming.
• Energy transition: Focuses on the shift toward a lower-carbon economy, including transition materials, renewable energy, low-carbon solutions like gas or hydrogen, and energy storage technologies."

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."

• "New regulatory parameters come at a cost
• Regulatory reset follows market turbulence that dictated 2023 review
• Regulator sharply reduces three-year wholesale price assumptions"

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.

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.

"As things stand, there are two major losers in this realignment: Europe and future generations. ... What can Europe do, and how can we protect the future?"

• "Embrace scarcity
• Shared interests
• Fair play"

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.

"This paper doesn’t offer a granular blueprint or a 10-step plan for improvement. Systems change is more complex than that. Instead, we point out levers for change: reforms of parts of the financial system which could improve its functioning and potentially trigger further change. We begin by describing what the financial system is, what we believe its purpose should be and how it has become what it is today. We touch upon what makes this system powerful, including which institutions are powerful in particular. Next, we turn to the three main functions of finance in turn. For each, we analyse the problems we see and propose levers for change."

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.
