Is??environmental investments driven by ??altruism or ??capitalism......? If you scratch the surface, there’s a whole load of not-very-environmental investments in the portfolio of many investors. The latest Investment Forces survey found that while more than half of millennial (55%) and Gen Z (56%) investors said they regularly considered ESG in their investment decisions, for the ‘boomer’ generation it dropped to just 28%. UK MD Richard Flynn noted that while most investors have ‘good intentions’, many “appear to be conflicted between moral and practical motivations.” #sustainabilityreporting #ESGreporting #Envizi #environmentalinvestments #CSRD

With only 17% of the United Nations’s #sustainabledevelopmentgoals on track, shifting * #ESGinvestments to * #impactstrategies could be #key to closing #fundinggaps and creating #measurable progress If you have any views on this topic why don't you join the next Swiss Impact Investment Association - in partnership with Geneva Impact Investing Association, Geneva Macro Labs & 4IP Group Sàrl #Coppet Freedom of Speech Debate on the 28th of November, from 18h30-20h00, where two outstanding teams will be discussing the motion: “This House Believes That #Greenwashing Does More Harm Than Good.” However, it should be noted that the team arguing against this motion is still not fully complete. Hence, should someone have the courage to argue that "Greenwashing is a Necessary Step Towards Greater Awareness", such as 1. Even if imperfect, greenwashing brings environmental issues into public discourse and raises awareness about sustainability 2. Greenwashing can serve as a stepping stone for companies that gradually improve their practices as they see a growing market for sustainability. 3. By promoting green products, even through greenwashing, companies are tapping into a growing segment of eco-conscious consumers 4. Greenwashing gives consumers the chance to scrutinize and hold companies accountable for their environmental claims. In other words, the Opposition could argue that greenwashing can be a catalyst for change, leading companies to eventually adopt real sustainable practices. In that way, even by joining the opposition you won't loose your credibility and integrity within the Swiss Sustainable Finance ecosystem, since the event will be recorded. So, this is not a Debate within the Chatham House Rules. We encourage all team members in both proposition and in the opposition to speak freely and openly without fear of repurcussion nor ostracization from the mainstream. This is the Spirit of Coppet which we try to promulgate through this alternative Freedom of Speech Debate Series honouring the 220+ year legacy of Madame de Stael.

Impact investing is a unique star in the sustainable-investing universe. Let’s break it down: ??Most types of “responsible,” “green,” and “sustainable” investing aim to limit harm to the planet, while targeting financial returns. ?? ESG investors, for instance, focus on limiting the negative environmental, social and governance impacts of their efforts by screening out specific industries, such as fossil fuels. ??Impact investing takes it a step further by actively seeking to create positive social or environmental change—funding clean energy, climate action, biodiversity, education and more—alongside financial returns. ?? Impact investments go beyond dodging harm to actively targeting good—like moving from defence to offence in the game of sustainable development. Genus caters to a variety of values-based investors—where do you fall on the spectrum? ?? #GenusCapital #ImpactInvesting #ESGInvesting #SustainableInvesting #ResponsibleInvesting
