What Is Sustainable Investing?

Ethical investing, environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing, impact investing, socially responsible investing (SRI), values-based investing, conscious investing, green investing and sustainable investing – there are many names but not yet a standard definition, leaving the term sustainable investing open to interpretation. In short, a sustainable investment is considered to be a  long-term financial return  that makes a positive contribution to society.  

The Rise of Sustainable Investment

Public demand for action on climate change has never been stronger. With the introduction of a wide variety of tax initiatives ,  pledges to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across value chains  and the  launch of a record number of new sustainable investment funds investors, governments and corporations alike are leading the fight against climate change, with the goal to significantly reduce carbon emissions by 2030 and ultimately achieve  net-zero carbon by 2050All of this was recently reaffirmed at the  G7 Summit  

As a result, the market for sustainable investing has also been steadily growing with more  than $21.4 trillion now invested sustainably in global assets .  

Evidence shows ( Standard Chartered ;  UBS Global ) that not only has sustainable investment grown rapidly in the last decade, but in 2020, more than  US$347 billion was poured into sustainable funds and sustainable investment themes outperformed the market.    

TEI as a Sustainable Investment

TEI is in the right market, at the right time, delivering growth and profitability.
