Sustainable investing – The Emperor's New Suit?
The market for sustainable investments is becoming more mainstream and is growing rapidly. We will unpack some of the issues surrounding the growth in sustainable investments: What is the purpose of sustainable investments? How do we know we are investing sustainably? How do these investments contribute to sustainable development and increasing the sustainable quality of life? How does this apply to different asset classes and investment themes? What can one say about the performance of sustainable investments? What can we learn from Cleantech investments? How can we apply this concept to philanthropy? What are the future challenges?
