With the SEC no longer vetting shareholder proposals, companies have started self-certifying their own exclusions. As shareholders push back and turn to litigation, this proxy season may prove to be a defining one for shareholder rights.  

When conflict disrupted gas exports through the Strait of Hormuz earlier this year, attention focused on gas prices and shipping lanes. But the shock travelled further — quietly rippling through fertilizer markets, where some producers were hit far harder than others, revealing how location-based risk can emerge deep within a supply chain.

In the wake of war in Ukraine and now in response to war in Iran, the fossil fuel industry has deployed a playbook of misleading narratives that push fossil fuels as the key to global energy security and affordability. InfluenceMap’s research indicates that this strategy is more than just an opportunistic reaction to a global energy crisis. In 2021, the fossil fuel industry predicted such a “black swan event upending the global political agenda” in the first half of the decade, and for years, it has acknowledged the likelihood and implications of the geopolitical and economic instability that might accompany a delayed global energy transition.

While the industry's strategy succeeded post-Ukraine, leading to new investments in fossil fuels, world leaders are beginning to recognize that fossil fuel reliance leaves countries vulnerable to future crises. As geopolitical instability plunges the world into the second major energy crisis of the decade, the renewable energy and utility sectors are wresting back control of the energy security narrative, pushing back on decades of fossil fuel industry-driven misconceptions.

In response to the Trump administration’s repeal of major US environmental regulations and federal subsidies, automakers are reporting losses of tens of billions of dollars as they retreat from EV production. The industry’s lobbying against environmental regulations, however, may have contributed to the regulatory instability that it now faces.

US automakers have often emphasized the need for stable environmental regulations, citing the substantial time required to develop and manufacture new vehicles. Despite this, many of these automakers have lobbied for years to roll back US emissions regulations, either directly or through their industry associations, counter to a strong global trend towards the electrification of road transport, further accelerated by high oil prices resulting from the conflict in Iran, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s warnings that ambitious government regulations are needed to decarbonize the industry.

At the same time, they have inadequately disclosed these lobbying activities, keeping their own investors in the dark about their lobbying for the rollbacks that are causing regulatory chaos for the industry.

This insight draws on InfluenceMap's assessment of BP and Shell's climate policy engagement from 2021–2025, using publicly available data and company disclosures up to the end of 2025.

With investor scrutiny intensifying ahead of both companies' 2026 AGMs, it considers what that record reveals about their positioning on the energy transition.

The Takeaway

• Now entering our fifth year for this survey, this year’s qualitative phase gathered perspectives and insights from a series of live, in-depth interviews with 25 asset owners from around the world.
• This year, we recorded plenty of shifts in the market environment, global investment standards, regulatory standards, and policy in our conversation with global stewards of capital.
• Notable observations were a concerning yet necessary concentration in US market, increasing diversification to build resilience across global portfolios, a healthy caution around AI and growing interest in private markets.

On the Evolution of Sustainable Investing and Constructing More Resilient Portfolios
In this episode of Sustainability in Conversation, we welcome our new co-host, Catalina Secreteanu. Catalina has worked in the sustainable investment space for the past 17 years, holding roles at UKSIF and Sustainalytics in the UK and Australia. During that time, she’s had a front row seat to how the industry has evolved. She shares her thoughts on where the market has been and where it’s going, as well as the challenges and opportunities along the ways.  

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.

Download the report to see how these risk signals can be applied across regions to strengthen portfolio resilience in any market.

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are rapidly warming the planet. But where do they come from? WRI experts explain which sectors emit the most GHGs.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), or El Niño, weather pattern occurs naturally every two to seven years, making some parts of the world drier and others wetter. But this year’s El Niño is shaping up to be a different beast.

Scientists predict an increasingly likely “Super El Niño,” where ocean temperatures in the Pacific rise higher than 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F) above average and alter atmospheric conditions more than usual. The result could be stronger, more persistent impacts around the world in the form of droughts, floods, cyclones, extreme heat and more.

Data on Global Forest Watch reveals that 34% of tree cover losses worldwide from 2001-2025 were likely the result of permanent land use change, meaning trees won’t grow back naturally. This percentage nearly doubles in tropical primary rainforests, to 60%.

Under AIGCC's Asset Owners Program, this Playbook reframes Asia's 2030 climate path as an investment problem rather than a compliance one — introducing the 5/50/10 framing: 5%+ returns, ~50% emission reduction, 5–10% portfolio allocation to climate investments.

Focal points

• The 5/50/10 framing as a practical 2030 anchor for asset owners: 5%+ returns, ~50% emission reduction, 5–10% allocation to climate investments. Designed to demonstrate that long-term performance, material emissions reduction, and increased climate-solutions allocation can be achieved in parallel.
• Seven investment approaches and four asset-owner archetypes mapped to the diverse landscape of Asian asset owner types (sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, insurers, endowments) and their current starting positions.
• Strategy design choices that matter most in practice: governance, implementation pathways, and organisational resourcing — alongside beta opportunities (risk management and resilience) and alpha opportunities (climate-aligned growth and innovation).

AIGCC's 2025 annual review — institutional investors in Asia continued to integrate climate factors despite global headwinds. Asset owners now 23% of members, combined AUM crossed US$36 trillion, and AIGCC consolidated its position as the region's primary investor voice on climate policy.

Focal points

• Asset owners are now 23% of AIGCC's membership (including observers) — a deliberate strategic shift toward bringing more long-term capital into the climate transition conversation in Asia.
• Year-on-year progress across most key climate metrics: net-zero commitments, interim target-setting, transition planning, physical-risk disclosure, and policy advocacy disclosure all rose materially among AIGCC members (detail in the parallel State of Investor Climate Transition in Asia 2026 report).
• Stewardship and engagement programmes — the Asian Utilities Engagement Program (AUEP) and Climate Action 100+ — drove more ambitious and transparent climate commitments from companies in high-emitting sectors including energy, transport, and steel.

Abstract

Ownership of public companies spans geography - institutional investors and investee companies are often located in different cities, states, and countries-with governance conducted by proxy, including for votes on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues raised by shareholders.

A frequent assumption by researchers and advocacy groups is that all ESG proposals should be supported, but this stakeholder orientation can be at odds with the framework used by investors.

Despite its many theoretical and empirical shortcomings, modern portfolio theory (MPT) remains the foundational framework as it both informs the structure of the investment industry (asset owners, active managers, passive managers) and the benchmarks against which investors' risk-adjusted performance is measured.

The research presented here is amongst the first to extend the MPT framework to proxy voting on ESG issues.

• The Bayesian modelling shows that asset owners support shareholder ESG proposals ~70% of the time.
• Support by active managers is size-dependent but even for large managers doesn't exceed ~45%.
• The largest passive managers exhibit much lower levels of support.

The results are broadly consistent with the characteristics and incentives implied by MPT and support development of a Modern Proxy Theory that offers a theoretical and empirical framework for further investigation, including the financial materiality of ESG issues and the geography of proxy voting.

Summary: including climate, governance, human capital and executive remuneration engagement themes.

Chronos Sustainability was commissioned by the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) to map out the landscape of nature investment opportunities available to institutional investors.

The report identifies and analyses opportunities associated with direct investments in natural capital (e.g. biodiversity credits, thematic bonds, outcome‑based bonds, debt‑for‑nature swaps) and investments in corporates addressing nature-related risks and opportunities (e.g. impact funds, thematic equities, sustainability‑linked bonds (SLBs)).

Four insights emerge from this work.

• Nature is a material financial issue and a source of opportunity 
• Nature-related financial instruments are at an early stage, but are evolving rapidly
• New regulations, market standards and guidance are emerging, but gaps remain. For example, many lack consistent regulation, valuation methodologies and robust approaches for measuring and verifying nature outcomes.   
• Pathways exist to expand credible, scalable and investable nature markets. At present, pipelines remain thin and data, regulations and governance systems are still developing.  However, many of these barriers can be addressed through standardisation, policy alignment, novel mechanisms for blended finance, and more robust monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV).

The research also suggests that, by investing in nature-related opportunities, investors can strengthen portfolio resilience, capture long-term growth, and help shape markets that align with global biodiversity goals. Institutional investors can support nature-related investment opportunities by:  

• Identifying and allocating capital to high-integrity nature-related opportunities, e.g. through focusing on companies that are significantly reducing nature-related dependencies and nature impact. 
• Supporting the development and deployment of de-risking and deal structuring mechanisms to help scale the pipeline of opportunities, e.g. blended finance structures, aggregation vehicles and credit enhancement tools. 
• Providing early-stage development capital and technical assistance to project developers or platforms that support project governance and delivery.  
• Advocating for mandatory TNFD-aligned corporate disclosure of management of nature-related risks and opportunities.   
• Advocating for regulatory conditions to scale high-integrity nature markets, including standardisation of metrics and nature valuation approaches.

Summary: Covers proxy voting, issuer engagement and sustainability-related dialogue across global portfolios.

Chronos Sustainability has worked with the International Transition Plan Network (ITPN) to produce a major new report: Enhancing Long-Term Value and Resilience: A study of how global investors are using transition plans.

The report examines how institutional investors are using corporate transition plans to assess companies’ long-term value and business resilience through the climate transition.

Based on a survey and interviews with 35 investors representing over US$10 trillion in AUM, the report finds that

• Transition planning and transition plans are still a relatively new concept.
• Investors are starting to use transition plans. Their use appears to be most widespread in stewardship (where transition plan information is used to prioritise engagement, structure dialogue with companies, and inform voting decisions) and in their portfolio monitoring and risk management.
• The use of transition plan data in passive investment and in labelled product design remains limited, with interviewees pointing to the need for broader coverage across sectors and jurisdictions, more decision-useful disclosure, particularly around financial metrics, and greater standardisation, to enhance comparability.
• Investors are primarily interested in the financial implications of low carbon transition strategies, and are focusing their attention on (a) governance processes, (b) implementation strategies, (c) financial metrics such as capital expenditure, and (d) key assumptions and dependencies.
• Use in passive investment and labelled product design remains limited, with a number of those interviewed pointing to the need for broader coverage across sectors and jurisdictions, more decision-useful disclosure, particularly around financial metrics, and greater standardisation, to enhance comparability.

The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) launched its first two sustainability-related standards in June 2023, effective for annual reporting periods on or after Jan. 1, 2024.

The standards could form the basis of a consistent sustainability disclosure framework for companies and investors around the world. In this quarterly report, we bring you the latest global developments in the uptake of the ISSB’s standards.

Cleantech growth expectations remain on a robust trajectory in 2026, even as markets such as the US and EU roll back sustainability policies from the first half of the 2020’s.

The sheer scale of additions to S&P Global’s Clean Power Project Pipeline Tracker in January 2026 — 165 gigawatts — offers a counterpoint to concerns about sector growth that emerged as the US has deployed policy tools to rein in the expansion of renewables and the EU has curbed sustainability ambitions for its energy sector.

Among cleantech options, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are overtaking solar PV as the segment outperformer. Solar PV will still account for the lion’s share. However, while the planned and proposed project pipeline for solar PV out to 2040 represents just under six times existing capacity, for BESS, that multiple is nearly 12.

The rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers is putting unprecedented pressure on energy supply, emissions and water availability.

At the start of 2026, S&P Global named AI and data center growth as a top sustainability trend to watch, and it was a dominant theme at both Climate Week Zurich and CERAWeek 2026 in Houston, where the conference title was “Convergence and Competition.”

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we talk to PepsiCo to understand how one of the world’s biggest food and beverage companies is building resilient food systems.

The Iran war has repriced geopolitical risk across assets. Given the Strait of Hormuz’s central role in global energy flows, disruption risks have increased the likelihood of higher energy prices and a tougher inflation backdrop. Europe’s higher dependence on imported energy amplifies downside growth risks and relative equity underperformance.

In a State Street Investment Management survey of EMEA-based asset owners in May 2025,  53 per cent of respondents said they plan to increase allocations to nature- and/or biodiversity-related investments over the next two years. Of respondents who currently integrate nature and biodiversity objectives in their investment process, 42 per cent noted a lack of reliable and/or scalable data as one of their top three challenges.

Previous papers in this series addressed nature and biodiversity from two perspectives.

• The first described nature as an asset that underpins economic activity across many sectors.
• The second outlined different objectives investors may have when integrating nature in portfolios, including managing nature-related dependency risks and identifying investment opportunities tied to nature and biodiversity.

This third paper reviews the current state of nature-related data for investors in public markets, the types of data available, and the investment objectives they may address in the portfolio construction process. It also outlines current limitations and recent developments in the data landscape.

The AI buildout is revealing capacity constraints in many key inputs, with power being one of the most strained.

BlackRock technology investors see the system adjusting across multiple time horizons but suggest a more dynamic environment requires shifting from a broad AI lens to more precise stock selection in the theme.

Infrastructure equities can be play the role of “defensive engine” inside a diversified portfolio: they provide exposure to essential services—keeping the lights on, clean water flowing, goods and people moving, and data connected—often supported by resilient demand, predictable cashflows and above-average income potential.

Shariah compliance doesn’t remove the infrastructure opportunity; it refines it.

Applying Shariah screens reduces the eligible universe, but it also reshapes sector and regional exposures—creating a distinct subset of infrastructure equities with different macro sensitivities.

For Islamic multi-asset portfolios—where diversification can be constrained and equity benchmarks can be technology-heavy—Islamic listed infrastructure equities can help fill a meaningful gap.

Despite apparent headwinds, global energy transition investment hit a record $2.3trn in 2025, up 8% YoY. Amid this, one of the key challenges for companies and investors is measuring progress. How can one separate headlines from on-the-ground data and get a clear picture of global transition strategy in 2026?

Jefferies’ Sustainability & Transition Team set out to address that question in a new note, Energy Transition Download: Practical Tools to Track Macro, Sector & Companies. The resource aggregates the analytical tools and datasets most useful for understanding the transition and guiding thinking across the investor community.

Our view 

• Employee share ownership can create long-term value for companies, shareholders, employees and society.
• Plans work best when they are offered broadly across the workforce, transparent in design, and complementary to wages. 

Key takeaways.

• Switzerland holds a 14 June referendum from a position of macroeconomic strength, with steady growth, low inflation and limited near-term spillovers from geopolitical shocks
• The initiative proposes capping the Swiss population at 10 million. We believe its approval would introduce uncertainty around long-term growth by challenging labour market openness and relations with the European Union 
• Any direct economic impact would depend on implementation, but the longer-term risks to potential growth and competitiveness would be meaningful
• For investors, near term market effects should be muted, but domestic focused Swiss equities could face a decline in valuations as a result of higher political risk, while the Swiss franc’s fundamentals will remain supportive.

Transition plans are becoming pivotal tools for investors, lenders and regulators to assess entities’ decarbonisation strategies, climate risk management and long-term value creation, Sustainable Fitch says in a new report. Their role is expanding beyond climate target disclosure into a broader framework supporting capital allocation, risk management and market engagement.

Regulation is driving adoption, particularly in Europe, where requirements are generally more established, while requirements are more stringent for financial institutions than for non-financial corporates, reflecting supervisors’ growing focus on transition-related risks. These rules are creating ripple effects across the real economy as banks and investors increasingly assess counterparties’ transition-related disclosures and strategies.

Although transition planning frameworks vary in detail, Sustainable Fitch found strong alignment across mainstream guidance on core elements. These include transition ambition and objectives, implementation actions and governance, while certain indicators, such as emissions targets, reporting and capex, tend to be more comparable across entities.

Sustainable Fitch’s Transition Assessment of nearly 40 entities shows most have robust absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions targets and all allocate at least some investment to transition activities. However, Scope 3 commitments and reporting remain uneven, and several entities generate little or no revenue from transition-related activities, pointing to slow business model transformation.

New guidance for transition-labelled bonds and loans, alongside the proposed transition fund category under SFDR 2.0, is likely to reinforce the importance of credible transition plans. For investors, these plans can support portfolio construction, issuer engagement and differentiation between transition leaders and laggards.

While there has been much written about Elon Musk’s SpaceX flouting traditional good corporate governance conventions in its planned IPO, it is noteworthy to compare how different it is to what Tesla Inc. (née Tesla Motors) looked like when it went public. Investors looking for a repeat of Tesla’s phenomenal stock performance will not have the same board structure or experience to guide it. And as ambitious as Musk’s potential $1 trillion pay package is for goals of colonizing Mars and extraterrestrial data centers, the market capitalization target portion over 15 years is only about 4x its $1.75-$2 trillion planned IPO price, a far cry from the nearly 400x Tesla has achieved since its 2010 listing.

One does not need fancy AI tools to uncover the Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) governance practices that raise concerns for at least some investors. Issues like dual class shares, approximately 85% voting rights vested with Musk including on unrealized share awards, controlled company status, Texas domicile and its more restrictive shareholder rights compared to Delaware, and an astronomical pay package.

In contrast, the fledgling Tesla with faster growth and a clearer addressable market had a mostly fairly-aligned board of directors to the company’s strategy and generally good governance practices designed to appeal to investors. While retrospectively one can criticize the oversight and control the Tesla board has exercised, the company had a range of experience to potentially help steer the company’s electric vehicle growth ambitions.

Whilst Altarea set to put its climate plan to a shareholder vote on 4 June, the FIR, in collaboration with ADEME, the World Benchmarking Alliance and the Ethos Foundation, provides an analysis of the plan.

The analysis is divided in two parts:

• the first assesses the plan’s transparency using the FIR methodology, whilst
• the second evaluates the company’s performance using ADEME’s ACT methodology.
