In today’s landscape, recognised sustainability leadership status has evolved from a nice-to-have for sustainable asset managers to a significant statement of commitment. As ESG scepticism grows louder, it is crucial for advocates to demonstrate that they remain steadfast in their principles. The rising polarisation of these issues underscores the importance of maintaining high standards and avoiding greenwashing more than ever.
To support institutional investors in navigating the complex field of sustainability, NordSIP once again partnered with Global Fund Search to update this handbook on not just ‘ESG’, but now ‘Sustainable’ Leaders more broadly. In this third edition, we have preserved the original concept for the sake of continuity. As before, institutional demand remains the key criterion for selecting the Sustainable Leaders featured in this publication. Only those managers who have excelled in sustainability-related searches are invited to participate. We continue to use a standardised template to help readers assess and compare managers’ sustainability commitments and how they fulfil them. Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to all investors’ needs, the handbook presents a wide range of alternatives.
The selected managers vary in their approaches to integrating sustainability into their processes, their methods of stewardship, and the sustainable strategies they offer. What unites them all, however, is their shared commitment. By providing a platform for Sustainable Leaders to showcase this dedication to sustainability in a systematic and comparable way, we hope to empower you to make more informed decisions.
