    Mirova, DNCA, Ossiam: Is defence defensible in ESG investing?

    Caught between the threat of Russian expansionism in the East and a possible withdrawal of the American security umbrella by Donald Trump across the Atlantic, Europe has launched an €800 billion finance plan to rearm the continent.

    Yet this military emancipation cannot be achieved without recourse to private investment, particularly considering the context of strained public accounts across many European countries.....

    Without adaptation, utilities are projected to bear the brunt of the projected costs for companies in the S&P Global 1200 index, according to a new analysis using the S&P Global Sustainable1 Climate Physical Risk dataset.

    Companies’ exposure to extreme weather events and chronic climate hazards such as extreme heat, water stress and drought has created significant financial costs across all sectors. These costs are projected to continue climbing, even under a climate change scenario that assumes strong greenhouse gas emissions reduction (SSP2-4.5), absent adaptation.

    The total cost of climate physical risk for the world’s largest companies that make up the S&P Global 1200 is projected to reach $1.2 trillion annually by 2050 under this scenario, according to S&P Global Sustainable1 data; this figure assumes no adaptation measures and is not adjusted for future inflation. The highest costs come from extreme heat and water stress.

    Utility companies are projected to experience the largest costs from climate physical risk: The average electric utility in the S&P Global 1200 is projected to face $4.6 billion in costs annually in the 2050s, absent adaptation. Importantly, utilities are more advanced than many sectors in terms of adaptation planning.

    RepRisk data reveals two-thirds of fashion supply chain risks are social

    • Among all sectors, retail is by far the most exposed to supply chain risk, with incidents more than doubling globally since 2020 and rising by 22% in the past year alone.
    • Over the past five years, social risks have accounted for about two-thirds of all incidents globally in each fashion segment: fast, premium, and luxury.
    • Human rights and poor working conditions drive the majority of social risk incidents in the global fashion sector.

    In today’s global economy, supply chains are not just operational backbones – they are strategic assets that directly impact business continuity, profitability, and corporate reputation. As supply chains extend across borders and involve layers of subcontractors, responsibility becomes increasingly fragmented. This opacity introduces significant exposure to business conduct risks. These risks can arise from unethical, illegal, or irresponsible behavior by a company or its employees – such as biodiversity degradation, forced labor, or greenwashing – and can result in serious consequences, including regulatory penalties, compliance breaches, reputational damage, and financial loss. Beyond the harm to the environment and society, the fallout can shake investor confidence and expose banks, asset managers, and insurers to financial and reputational risks.

    This report presents key findings and insights from RepRisk’s analysis of data on supply chain risk exposure, with a particular focus on the fashion sector. Due to its vast scale, complex supply chains, and dual role as both a producer of essential goods and a major employer in many regions, the fashion industry represents a critical focal point for supply chain risks.

    “Fashion’s supply chains have never been easy – and today’s global pressures make them even tougher. It is time for transparency! Daily monitoring powered by data that effectively combines human intelligence with AI – through fine-tuned models trained on human-labeled data – enables fashion and other companies not only to build resilient value chains but also to maintain stakeholder trust and drive long-term performance.”

    Philipp Aeby, CEO and Co-founder at RepRisk

    Catch the AI wave: water risk in big tech

    Access to usable fresh water is fundamental to livelihoods, health, ecosystems, and the global economy.

    Water-related natural hazards such as floods and droughts can have such devastating effects that we believe that water-related risks and opportunities can be financially material factors that need to be increasingly integrated into technology sector decisions and the investment strategies that support them.

    (https://business.edf.org/insights/investors-helped-build-europes-methane-rules-now-they-must-defend-them/)

    In 2024, the European Union took a bold step toward climate action by finalizing its methane regulation, a first-of-its-kind measure to curb one of the most potent greenhouse gases. The law aims not only to cut emissions, but to restore accountability to the energy sector and align Europe’s fossil fuel supply chain with its climate responsibility. That vision wouldn’t have been possible without pressure from the global investor community.

    But the job isn’t finished.

    Part of the fossil fuel industry is now pushing to delay, dilute or distort the implementation of the EU Methane Emissions Regulation. For this historic law to deliver the methane reductions it was designed to achieve, investors must remain engaged. Their voices — trusted in both boardrooms and ministries — are essential to resisting attempts to weaken the regulation and preserving its ambition.

    Electricity Demand Growth: Electricity demand outpaced overall energy demand growth last year, with electricity demand reaching 34% of total energy demand in 2024.

    Hyperscalers Shift to Renewables: Hyperscalers (the largest cloud infrastructure firms) are adopting a strategy of co-locating new renewable energy sources, in part to avoid rising power costs, which have been traditionally linked to commodities like natural gas.

    Battery Storage Rise: Battery energy storage systems (BESS), using lead-acid or zinc-bromide alongside lithium-ion, present a potential solution to the problem of renewable energy variability for these facilities.

    Zinc and Lead Opportunity: Increased BESS use could boost demand for zinc and lead under certain adoption scenarios, improving market outlook by enhancing their role in the green energy economy.
