In this episode of our “Global Perspectives” series, Global Sustainable Equity Portfolio Managers Hamish Chamberlayne and Aaron Scully join Adam Hetts to discuss the latest trends in sustainability. 

Key takeaways: 

• The US has undergone a huge shift in its stance towards sustainability, with the new Biden administration, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) all focused on tackling climate change. 
• A transformative synchronized investment boom into clean technologies is underway in the US and beyond, with the connection of digitalization, electrification and decarbonization improving efficiency across all industries. 
• Low-carbon investing is more than simply investing in renewable energy companies and removing fossil fuels from a portfolio. We see many opportunities in the technology, business productivity and building sectors that all have a place in creating a greener economy.
• Intentionality, transparency and consistency are key tenets that span the broad spectrum of sustainable investing.
