We are responsible for our Future……

This requires that we understand the importance of sustainable practices, social responsibility and climate change.
Sustainability deals with human dimensions (help out of poverty, disease and hunger) and natural dimensions (limited resources, climate change).
The investor's role becomes increasingly important. They have the power to change and have influence for the social good.
Investors do have a choice to invest for a responsible future….who cares wins.

Around the globe, there is growing interest and awareness of the need to protect our environment and to support more environmentally sustainable investments.

 Institutional asset owners, mostly pension funds and investment foundations plan to increase their commitment to responsible investment by $137bn before the end of 2010.

 Climate change has moved to the top of the agenda as one of the most important long-term risks (and opportunities) facing investors. The political support has never been so high and continues to grow.

 Almost five trillion dollar venture capital has been invested in renewable energy and clean technology.

 Referring to the Council for Sustainable Development, the World Bank and private investors plan to invest 5.5 billion U.S. dollar in eleven solar thermal power stations in North Africa, which would triple their contribution to global power.

 In Europe, the EU’s 27 member states have agreed to targets of a 20% boost in renewable fuel use by 2020, while the UK has pledged to cut its CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050.
