7th Annual Sustainable Investment Asset Owner survey 2023
Each year FTSE Russell conduct a survey to better understand asset owners’ attitudes, priorities, and decisions around sustainable investment.
The survey takes a pulse of the market and this year we found a strong, continued long-term commitment to the maturing sustainable investment industry. While we noted a directional dip in terms of asset owner levels of implementing and evaluating sustainable investment, the long-term trend reflects a very positive trajectory.
These are this year’s findings of the FTSE Russell 7th Annual Sustainable Investment Asset Owner survey which highlights how respondents are dealing with the fast-changing, short term macroeconomic and geo-political backdrop.
As sustainable investing is the future of investing, take a look at the priorities for asset owners overall, and by region.
Key findings for asset owners:
- After 5 years of steady growth, sustainable investment registers a slowdown in terms of implementation and evaluation.
- Barriers to increased sustainable investment adoption are still apparent but on a downward trend.
- Governance themes are the priority having significantly risen across all regions.
- Top rationale for implementing sustainable investment is member or client demand.
