Sustainable Investing is fast becoming an essential method of
generating long-term returns, moving beyond the negative approaches
to socially responsible investing that have dominated the
field. This book, our second on the subject, provides over 15
case studies of leading global investors and companies
demonstrating how they successfully apply sustainability aspects to
their core strategies. Learn from prominent thought leaders
Dan Esty and Paul Hawken among others who have contributed key
chapters. Our chapter on performance shows clearly how these
strategies have been working once negative approaches are parsed
out by those examining fund returns. This book also examines
in great depth what data exists, and what’s on the horizon, to best
measure & capture sustainability successfully. Regional
perspectives, including 3 chapters on Asia, and focuses on Canada,
Australia, Africa & India are also included, as is a look
across asset classes.
Sustainable Investing, when performed with a positive
perspective, has been outperforming the mainstream, unlike negative
approaches designed to match benchmark returns. From
eco-efficiency to sustainability-driven innovation and beyond,
investors of all shapes & sizes need to know how best to
position themselves for the radical market shifts underway.
