mallowstreet University Investment Focus: Sustainability

In 2019, Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion made one thing clear: we are running out of time.

Planning for a future when the future itself is uncertain is challenging at the best of times, but now the world has woken up to the reality of climate change and Sustainability and ESG is at the forefront of every investor’s mind. In this morning workshop we will hear from four leading managers who are pioneering new approaches to investing sustainably.

This event is FREE to attend for investment decision makers and their advisors and is available for CPD accreditation.

  3. Rotating Investment Masterclass I: The trillion dollar climate opportunity

    For many institutional investors assessing climate risk, measuring carbon emissions has been the first step. However, the more we deepen our analysis of the true footprint including direct and indirect emissions the more we realise that climate risk is systemic and likely undivestable. With more systemic climate risk in portfolios than initially thought, how can asset owners respond? Rather than focusing on divestment, we believe that investing positively in companies reducing carbon emissions and enabling transition to a de-carbonised growth model offers the best opportunity to improve the level of protection from climate risk in your portfolio and importantly can provide maximum impact.
