The convergence between sustainability and investing is driving systemic change in the capital markets. Bloomberg estimates that ESG investing – which involves taking into account Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations in addition to financial factors – will represent a third of global assets under management by 2025. In her recent article, Anna Alemani draws attention to a frequently disregarded cause driving the growth of sustainable investing.
“The digital revolution gave consumers and investors access to virtually unlimited information. Financially material information about a company is no longer limited to SEC filings, ratings, and buy/sell recommendations from few trusted sources. Social media and other alternative data sources expose good or bad corporate behavior, allowing us to compare organizations on previously hidden areas of operations.”
