Investing for Impactful Outcomes
INVESTING FOR IMPACTFUL OUTCOMES
Trustees are increasingly integrating impactful sustainability principles into their schemes’ investment beliefs and goals to build more resilient portfolios. As with climate change, biodiversity loss has come to the fore as a systemic risk that needs to be managed to help ensure that we have a planet worth living in for future generations. There are many forces driving the development of a biodiversity transition, including targets and regulation such as the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures.
