Key points:

• The scope 1 to 3 emissions framework is essential for measurement, but says little about how businesses actually drive or reduce carbon emissions.
• Influential sectors with small footprints – such as exchanges, rating agencies, social media and audit – can enable huge amounts of high-carbon activity.
• Companies providing real solutions risk being misjudged if investors focus excessively on their scope 1 to 3 numbers.

Extreme weather events are reshaping the investment landscape. How can investors protect portfolios—and communities—from the rising physical risks of climate change?

Physical climate risk is no longer theoretical—it’s here. Floods, fires, and black-rain events are increasing in frequency and intensity, with real financial consequences. Simon Whistler outlines how investors are beginning to quantify and address these risks, yet highlights that fewer than one-third of PRI signatories currently report on physical climate risk metrics. Calvin Lee Kwan shares how Link Asset Management has moved from reactive recovery to proactive resilience—reducing insurance premiums by 11.7% and strengthening investor confidence in the process.

Key Insights

• Advances in research tools and techniques have greatly enhanced the ability to view how DNA, RNA, and proteins move and interact.
• This deeper understanding of human biology is enabling new classes of medicines that can create better outcomes for patients.
• These new therapies can block the activity of harmful proteins more effectively than existing treatments or increase the production of beneficial ones.
• The largely binary outcomes for biotech stocks requires a deep understanding of both the clinical and commercial prospects of a company’s drug pipeline.

Watch Bryan Carter, Head of Emerging Markets Fixed Income, and Yakhara Sembene, Senior Industry Specialist at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), discuss how emerging markets companies that are actively pursuing sustainable practices have created an asset class capable of delivering attractive and diversified returns.

Key takeaways

• Weather-related events are a major financial risk for countries and companies, but their materiality is not well understood across financial institutions.
• We have developed an in-house physical risk screening and scoring system to assess country-level exposure.
• Granularity by location is needed, as it remains a challenge in assessing corporate exposure.
• Although some industries – eg, insurance – are using adaptation measures, there is a need to improve data and invest in adaptation infrastructure.

Q3 2025 marked a record high for global shareholder activism, with 61 campaigns launched, defying the typical summer slowdown and setting the stage for an active Q4.

Our Investment Banking Global Shareholder Advisory team’s Q3 Review of Shareholder Activism also sees major activists increasingly launching campaigns year-round and a heightened focus on board change.

The Emerging Markets Debt credit team makes annual visits to India, allowing us to monitor the country’s rapid development—by being present on the ground, witnessing visible changes, and listening to the sentiment expressed by residents and companies.

During our most recent tour, we observed remarkable progress in the country’s efforts toward its goal of Swarnim Bharat (a term embodying India’s ambition to become a more prosperous, self-reliant and thriving nation).

Conversations with local industry leaders and policymakers underscored a unified drive to achieve ambitious renewable energy targets and reduce dependence on imported fuels. In our view, the scale and speed of infrastructure upgrades, digital transformation and green finance initiatives demonstrate India’s determination to integrate economic growth with sustainable development.

Effective measurement of progress toward net-zero alignment has never been more important to investors and companies that have adopted net-zero ambitions.

In line with the Paris Agreement on climate change, 2025 marks a key milestone in the pursuit of net zero, as many companies that have stated net-zero ambitions approach the first checkpoint for their emission reduction targets.

As additional data becomes available to capture the adoption of low-carbon technologies, investors that focus on this area have had to evolve their assessment methods. This evolution is necessary for them to better understand companies’ progress in aligning with a net-zero scenario. Despite these changes, one constant has remained: There is no singular data point that can capture the nuance of how companies across sectors are approaching their net-zero goals.

Justin Patrie, Head of Credit Commentary & Research, and Sarah Repucci, Senior Director, Credit Commentary & Research, discuss emerging challenges for the AI-fueled US data center boom, covering investment, rising costs, impact on utilities and more (includes discussion of energy/renewables)

The world's population is likely to continue growing for a few more years, but with only around two dozen countries driving that. The rest of the world is shrinking, including Europe and Germany in particular. One problem associated with population decline is the resulting strain on pension systems.

The birth rate is only one of several factors influencing the viability of pension systems. The pay-as-you-go system suffers from the fact that each contributor is having to support more and more pensioners. This could be relieved in various ways – other than by a rather unlikely turnaround in the birth rate. The rate of employment or the retirement age could be increased. Pensions could be reduced. Higher immigration could be permitted. Or economic productivity could be raised. It is likely that all four of these levers will have to be pulled. In addition, however, a pension system funded by investment savings is, in our view, urgently required.

Companies today face intensifying pressures—from surging electricity demand and water shortages, to shifting policies and regulations, to a rise in megamergers. How companies handle these pressures matters to their bottom lines—and to shareholder value. The challenge for investors is determining which businesses will adapt and thrive, and which will struggle. In our view, applying a stewardship lens can help.

That means assessing how companies manage the fundamentals that drive long-term value: resource use, supply chain practices and governance. We believe that companies that conserve water and energy, demonstrate sophistication around their supply chains and maintain corporate discipline are better positioned to protect margins and preserve capital. That discipline can translate, in our analysis, into more resilient earnings and stronger shareholder outcomes over time.

Bond issuance linked to environmental, social and governance (ESG) purposes dipped in the first half of 2025 following a strong second half in 2024. But we expect issuance of ESG-labeled bonds will pick up for several reasons.

Many debut issuers are still coming to the market (Display, left). Borrowers from Austria, Sweden and Spain have significantly increased their ESG-labeled bond issuance, providing over 5% of global total issuance year to date. Their contributions underscore the adaptability and resilience of the ESG-labeled bond market, as many issuers continue to prioritize responsible investing.

In terms of sectors, new ESG-labeled issuance by utilities comprises a substantial part of the market, averaging around 9% of annual issuance from 2018 through 2024. We expect that growing demand for energy from data centers (Display, right) will result in higher capex by utilities and a further increase in their ESG-labeled bond issuance. Why?

Companies are accelerating their adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) to boost productivity and rein in costs—an urgent priority in today’s environment of elevated inflation and sluggish growth. This speed makes it important for investors to pay close attention. In our view, the environmental and social implications of AI—energy intensity, workforce impact and data governance—are financially material to most companies around the world.

Indeed, artificial intelligence is the most consequential technological innovation since the internet, poised to permeate every industry and reshape economies and societies in the years ahead. Business adoption of AI has intensified since late 2022, when generative AI* tools like ChatGPT burst onto the scene. Functions such as IT, finance, and supply chain and manufacturing have been early leaders, while areas from marketing and sales to product development and human resources are poised for broad adoption in 2025 (Display).

In the world of investment, fashion might not be the first sector that comes to mind when thinking about systemic risk. But beneath the surface of seasonal trends and glossy campaigns lies a complex and increasingly volatile supply chain landscape, one that’s becoming a material concern for asset managers. 

RepRisk’s latest analysis of global supply chain risk reveals a sobering truth: reputational, regulatory, and operational risks are mounting, and they’re not confined to emerging markets or fringe players. They’re embedded in the operations of some of the world’s most prominent brands and they carry direct implications for financial institutions. 

New research from RepRisk reveals that the global share of companies linked to both greenwashing and biodiversity risks has doubled over the past five years – from 3% in 2021 to 6% in 2025.

• Biodiversity dominates the environmental risk landscape: 38% of all environmental risk incidents tracked by RepRisk in the past year involved biodiversity – followed by local pollution (33%) and waste (17%).
• Gatekeepers between capital and sustainability under scrutiny: 294 Banking and Financial Services firms were flagged for greenwashing risk in 2025 – a 19% rise from 248 the year before.
• Repeat behavior in some sectors: In aviation, seven in ten companies flagged for greenwashing in 2024 were flagged again in 2025.

Report and commentary here

A new Ceres report reveals four important takeaways for companies and financial institutions on the current opportunities and barriers to scaling sustainable and resilient agricultural practices in corporate supply chains.  

Notably, the new report, Cultivating Resilience: A Primer on Corporate Investment in Agricultural Supply Chains, shows many of the largest companies are already acting – working with farmers and ranchers to adopt more resilient practices. However, Ceres finds that more participation at greater scale is needed to transition the sector and reap the most benefits from action. 

Case study of Phoenix, Arizona provides a comprehensive picture of potential water risks from direct water use and energy consumption tied to data centers   

A new Ceres analysis released today covers the full range of potential water risks facing data center companies, high-tech businesses, and investors due to compounding water demands from data centers, especially in areas where water is already scarce. 

Drained by Data: The Cumulative Impact of Data Centers on Regional Water Stress, uses Phoenix, Ariz., a booming data center hub, as an example of data center water impacts increasingly playing out in the United States—32% of data centers across the country are in areas of high or extremely high-water stress—and in data center hot spots across the globe. The analysis was developed in partnership with Cathay Financial Holdings and with research and analysis from Bluerisk. 

Key Takeaways 

• In the age of AI, the materiality of human capital management to business outcomes may be greater than ever, as shown by recent academic research.
• Recognizing the materiality of human capital, this article illustrates a potential approach to selecting human capital leaders using ISS STOXX Sustainability metrics. 
  The article identifies companies that rank highly with respect to training, work-life balance, working conditions, pay and benefits, and labor rights, as well as alignment with human capital SDGs.
• Nearly 600 issuers across all 11 sectors from a global universe of over 3,900 stocks rank highly on these metrics, indicating that strong human capital management is not specific to just a few industries.  

Below (see link) is an excerpt from ISS-Corporate’s recently released article “Getting Materiality Right: Challenges, Risks, and Best Practices”. The full article is available on ISS-Corporate’s resources page.   

Materiality assessments are not new: for years, they have served as a fundamental tool for organizations seeking to identify and prioritize the sustainability issues most relevant to their business. Beyond informing reporting, they have played a strategic role – shaping decision-making, guiding resource allocation, and strengthening stakeholder relationships. By identifying issues that matter most, they enhance organizational resilience, stakeholder trust, and long-term value.   

For many years, concerns surrounding the efficacy of the water systems in England and Wales have been raised by critics, many of which highlight what are viewed as the shortcomings of using private companies that operate as regional monopolies for essential services. Criticisms include the payment of billions in dividends to utility company shareholders despite a lack of investment in local infrastructure, environmental damage and pollution caused by sewage spills and water leaks, and the leveraging of some companies with considerable levels of debt despite being debt-free when they were first privatised. Indeed, in hindsight, some commentators have questioned the affordability of the years of dividends, given the current position many of these companies have found themselves in.

Successful investors in emerging market debt must contend with complexity and uncertainty on several levels.

We believe our integrated approach, plus our ability to identify and model material risk factors, enables us to better manage risk while focusing on capitalizing on investment opportunities.

• In brief
  Understanding material Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors is an important aspect of assessing investments in emerging market issuers in view of their vulnerability to climate change and other social and governance factors.
• The energy transition in emerging markets has its own unique dynamic and risks that need to be taken into account in the investment process.
• We model these risks with the help of our EM ESG dashboard and other tools and engage with issuers to better understand how these factors affect them as part of our long-term active approach.

The goal of Norges Bank Investment Management is to generate financial returns, following a management mandate laid down by the Ministry of Finance. As a long-term and globally diversified financial investor, our returns depend on sustainable development in economic, environmental and social terms.

Accordingly, the management mandate specifies that our responsible investment activities shall be based on the long-term goal that portfolio companies organize their activities to be compatible with global net zero emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement. To implement this mandate, we published our first Climate action plan in 2022 with an ambition for our portfolio companies to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

This second plan continues and builds on our 2025 Climate action plan and outlines the actions we intend to take to further develop our approach to 2030.  

There are shelves of books on corporate culture and how important it is to get it right. Each of these books will give examples of a company that was extremely successful because of its corporate culture. And there are plenty of examples of companies that went under where people find signs of poor culture after the fact as a driver of the bankruptcy. And each of these books will tell the reader that a key factor for business success is to improve the corporate culture. But how likely is that going to happen?

Employing large language models to read c.55,000 earnings call transcripts from almost 7,000 firms and double-checking the results with independent data from other sources like Glassdoor a group of researchers looked at the change of culture scores for companies over time and in particular during two key events: When the CEO changes and when a private company goes public....

Microplastic pollution is no longer a marginal concern; it is quickly becoming a major legal, environmental, and financial risk that directly affects how companies perform and what investors can expect. Companies that produce a lot of plastic waste but do not have strong, clear strategies in place are increasingly at risk of lawsuits, stricter regulations, and damage to their reputation.

Investors should treat packaging governance as a key ESG risk, actively engage with the companies they invest in about their sustainability efforts and use this information to make smarter risk and investment decisions. Tackling microplastic risks goes beyond compliance: it is an opportunity to strengthen business models, safeguard long-term value, and support the shift to a circular, low-waste economy.

China has established itself as a dominant force in Africa’s mining sector, with a strategic focus on securing essential resources for its manufacturing and energy transition goals.

As global demand for critical minerals escalates, China’s involvement in Africa’s mining industry is reshaping the regional dynamics of resource extraction, economic development, and geopolitical influence.

In 2025, S&P Global Commodity Insights reimagined our long term energy and climate scenarios to address the complexities of modern energy markets. The traditional framework of the “energy transition” is no longer sufficient to capture the sometimes energy growth, as well as the fragmentation and complexities of international geopolitical relationships and trade. This rethinking has led to the development of three new scenarios—Adaptation, Fracture, and Renaissance—alongside updates to the CI Base Case and Net-Zero 2050 outlook.

The new scenarios highlight governance and technological progress as critical drivers of future energy pathways and emphasize the need for strategic planning to navigate a volatile world where contradictory trends can and will coexist. Thinking beyond the energy transition requires energy market players to prepare for high-risk, low-probability events and the potential for continued geopolitical upheaval

BCG’s third annual report on  sustainability in the private markets  draws on data from 9,000+ portfolio companies and 320 general partners  (GPs) participating in the ESG Data  Convergence Initiative (EDCI).

This year’s analysis of the wealth of data generated unlocks significant insights on  the role of the private markets in  driving sustainable value creation.

The carbon footprint of investment portfolios has become a central metric in tracking net zero ambitions of portfolios – particularly in the assessment of green bonds. Increasingly stringent regulations, such as fund labelling requirements like Towards Sustainability, move towards prohibiting the use of ‘zero emissions’ as a default footprint for green bonds. However, using an issuer-level carbon footprint to evaluate these bonds can render them ineffective as a sustainable investment tool, especially for firms in high-emission sectors like utilities that issue green bonds to fund their decarbonisation efforts.

In practice, issuers most commonly report the avoided emissions of their green bonds and rarely disclose the absolute carbon footprint of projects funded by green bonds. As a result, investors frequently rely on issuer-level data or basic estimation methods, which can lead to inconsistent or even misleading assessments of a bond’s climate impact. This underscores the need for a standardised and robust methodology to estimate the carbon footprint of green bonds.

Renewables 2025 is the IEA's main annual report on the sector. It presents the latest forecasts and analysis, based on recent policy and market developments, while also exploring key challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

This year’s edition provides forecasts for the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport and heat through 2030. It also examines notable developments in key areas of the sector, including policy changes, manufacturing trends, and the financial health of different parts of the industry.

Abstract

We conducted a survey in June 2024, targeting 50,000 randomly selected clients from the  Crédit Agricole Languedoc client base to examine their socially responsible investment (SRI)  behaviors.

The survey received 1,080 responses, corresponding to a response rate of 2.16%. In addition to survey responses, administrative data on clients’ consumption and savings  behaviors during the same period were collected to complement the analysis.

The sample includes 698 individuals who report holding at least one financial product.  Among them, 284 are traditional investors (TI), representing 26% of the survey respondents, who report holding no responsible investment products; 182 (17%) are responsible investors  (RI), who report holding at least one responsible investment product; and 232 (22%) uncertain  investors (NKI), who are unsure whether they hold any responsible investment products. In addition, the sample includes 378 (35%) non-investors (NI), who report holding none of the  aforementioned financial products.

A growing number of companies are turning to nature-based carbon credits to meet their net-zero ambitions — but the market isn’t as broad as it seems. In 2024, only 3% of MSCI ACWI Investable Market Index (IMI) companies retired such credits. Yet this small cohort accounted for 65% of disclosed retirements. In other words, just a handful of companies dominate capital flows into nature-based carbon projects.

These firms, including Microsoft Corp., Shell plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co., sourced credits from 228 projects across 32 countries, mostly focused on reforestation and tropical-forest protection. Combined, these projects cover over 20 million hectares — or an area twice the size of South Korea — with an estimated expenditure of USD 200 million.

Some companies go further, locking in forward deals at USD 40–50 per credit, three to five times the current market average. These premiums help capex-intensive projects get off the ground and secure future supply of high-integrity projects.

The launch of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA’s) Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) regime in November 2023 was broadly welcomed by the investment industry.

Positioned as an ambitious initiative, the SDR aims to empower consumers in navigating the sustainable investment landscape, while supporting the transition to a net zero economy and reinforcing the UK’s status as a global hub for sustainable finance.

Key takeaways:

• A three-step systematic approach combining climate-relevant universe construction, alpha-generating decarbonisation signals, and risk optimisation can deliver both climate impact and attractive returns
• Lower portfolio carbon intensity doesn't guarantee real emissions reduction. Achieving real-world impact requires identifying companies that will drive future emissions reductions – including currently emission-intensive companies leading the transition
• A systematic approach allows investors to easily customise their decarbonisation exposure and constraints, while maintaining alpha
