New published paper highlights the movement from linear to circular economies, where costly depletion of resources and waste accumulation migrate to recycling and resource replacement with little waste and pollution in the process.
LEAWOOD, KS / ACCESSWIRE / March 12, 2021 / Ecofin, today announced it released an insight titled The Sustainability Revolution: What investors should know, describing the drivers of the sustainability revolution taking shape around the world and why investors should take notice in their portfolios.
Ecofin is passionate about investing clients' capital for both financial return and social impact. While sustainable and impact investing are not new, 2020 was an 'awakening' of the sustainability revolution. This paper assesses three converging forces driving the revolution:
- Technological innovation: driving cost declines and efficiency improvements
- Government and corporate policy shifts: aggressive action by global leaders
- Consumer activism and demand for positive societal changes
"We don't believe it's a traditional socially responsible movement involving divestment from 'sin' stocks. Rather, this is about investment returns and risks for investors. For companies, it's about a race for economics, job creation, and ultimately success and survival," said Brent Newcomb, President - Ecofin. "At the same time, there are clear benefits to the environment, our planet, and socially within our communities."
The insight concludes that there is a clear case for a return-oriented approach to sustainable investing. By putting capital to work, in exchange for a return, some of the planet's biggest challenges can be tackled by investing in companies and assets earning solid returns and doing business in ethical and responsible ways.
