Impact from 'the bench': Matching opportunity with capacity to redefine sustainable investment
'Interesting times' for sustainable investment: Using time 'between jobs' to think seriously
It won't have escaped anyone's notice that there are currently a fair number of people with considerable sustainable investment experience currently 'between jobs' - having fallen on the 'bust' side of the recent 'boom and bust' cycle for sustainable investment and ESG.
Most of them say that they are taking time to consider their next steps ... and most of them probably are.
However, if we take the perspective (as I think we must) that sustainable investment will be (and has to be) fundamentally-different for the next iteration of its development and growth, these people should be an invaluable resource as they combine:
- an understanding of the principles, objectives, practices and lessons learned from sustainable investment
- time to think about how the industry needs to be different next time round (and the experience that enables them to make intelligent judgements about this
We - as an industry - really need these people to be thinking in an unconstrained way about - not only their own future direction but also the future direction of our whole industry and value chain ... and we need to create the space and opportunity for them to do it.
Now, some people think well on their own ... and are very welcome to continue doing so. We look forward to hearing from them when they reach and execute their conclusions.
Other people, however, prefer to explore ideas with others. So, for this group, SRI-Connect will host a Zoom call on 3 March 2026 at 15:00 (GMT) for anyone with >10 years' experience in a senior sustainable investment role who is currently 'between jobs'.
Agenda:
- Introductions (30 mins)
- Breakout discussions on the three big questions we face (30 mins)
- Can AI save sustainable investment? How?
- Integration into fundamental valuation: What have we learned? What's next?
- Winning the culture wars: How can we shape and present sustainable investment in a way that reaches through political noise?
- Reviewing opportunities arising and follow-up actions (30 mins)
Invitees:
On this call, we welcome anyone with >10 years' experience working in a senior sustainable investment role (from any point in the value chain: asset owner, investment consultant, asset manager, research provider, listed company or other) who is currently 'between jobs'.
Numbers are limited to 15 participants ... and we are going to be strict about the >10 year rule. (If this session is helpful and productive, we'll be happy to organise other sessions for other people.)
Network effect:
Just as importantly as solving the questions over the strategic direction of sustainable investment - will be an opportunity to share our capacity, objectives, opportunities and needs with each other. There's plenty of work that needs doing in sustainable investment. Hopefully, this call can start to match some of the opportunity with some of the capacity.
Impact from the bench?
Oil companies don't lead in renewable energy technologies and banks aren't driving the fintech revolution. Just so, it seems likely that the next chapter of sustainable investment will be written by someone who is currently not burdened by incumbency ... by one of the people - indeed - that we expect to join us on 3rd March.

Capital Group: Macro brief: Powering AI — Energy crunch sparks investment surge
If there is one element that underpins the development of artificial intelligence and reindustrialisation of America, it might be electric power.
Power demand in the US is set to surge over the next decade, driven by rapid expansion of AI data centres, new manufacturing facilities and electric vehicle networks. Data centres account for about 4% of US electricity use, but estimates suggest that figure could climb to 9–14% by 2030.
Overall, what is unfolding is a fundamental shift for the power industry, which has undergone a decade of stagnant consumption.

WBCSD: Mobilizing Capital for Regenerative Agriculture and Nature: From Metrics to Investment Decisions
Sustainability is increasingly proving to be a driver of corporate financial performance.
Recent analysis from WBCSD shows positive financial returns, with reported ROI ranging from 2x to 14x, especially in sectors like food and beverage.
Companies with strong sustainability practices often benefit from a lower cost of capital, while those that fail to act face tangible financial penalties, including EBITDA reductions of 5% to 25%.
In agrifood value chains, there is growing evidence of the linkage between climate, nature, and equity outcomes and management of material risks and opportunities that shape long-term value and resilience.
In October 2025, WBCSD and Principles for Responsible Investment brought together a group of agrifood companies and investors to discuss how shared metrics can better support decision-making for both corporates and investors and drive more coordinated action across the sector. The article highlights the main insights from the dialogue.

This Regnan Alert analyses two developments with growing relevance for global investors. It assesses China’s accelerating green hydrogen leadership and the implications for Australia’s export ambitions and examines how rising affordability pressures are driving a shift in US utility rate decisions. Together, these themes highlight material risks and opportunities across evolving energy and infrastructure systems.

S&P Global: Rapid data center growth faces sustainability challenges: Increasing emissions and water stress
Focal points
- S&P projects global data center built capacity to rise from 200 GW in 2024 to 382 GW by 2030, nearly doubling power demand.
- Hyperscalers are leading clean-power procurement, but grid constraints mean near-term demand may rely more on existing coal and gas alongside new gas and renewables.
- The authors expect US power-sector emission reductions to slow, and overall emissions could rise versus pre-AI forecasts even if operators meet their own pledges, as limited renewables are competed away.
- The authors estimate 43% of data centers face high water stress in the 2020s, requiring site-specific cooling and water strategies such as recycled water or treated wastewater to reduce potable use and spillover impacts.
