Sustainability, ESG and climate change concerns are reshaping investment
Climate change is impacting businesses and societies around the world, making climate risk and sustainability a top priority for companies in all industries. Climate risk is transforming markets and redesigning capital allocation, investments, and growth strategies. Sustainability transactions more than tripled in value in 2021 to $164 billion (Refinitiv). Based on market analysis and trends observed over the last 5 years, the transition to “green growth” represents an historic investment opportunity which in our opinion will be bigger that the internet boom of 1990s. We believe that at least $5 trillion annually will be invested in sustainability by 2025. This represents the largest capital reallocation in history. At the same time, approximately $12 trillion worth of assets will have to be retired or phased out to comply with new ESG and carbon reduction regulations.
