Aggregate impact investing: untapping the potential in sustainable bonds

Investors, whether institutional, banks or retail, are all looking for investments in line with their convictions, especially in terms of environment. Beyond the climate concern, they seek to participate in changes according to a Just Transition, which is socially responsible. These ambitions support the sustainable bond market, with the search for impact solutions, both from issuers – including governments – and from investors.

Points of view – 1 question, 3 experts : Why is the just transition a key element of climate strategies ?

Everyone agrees on the need to take into account the impacts of the climate transition on workers, communities, consumers and citizens, if we want to achieve a rapid change towards a low-carbon economy. Recognising the urgency and the key role that the private sector must play in financing the transition, we decided to integrate the social and territorial dimension of the Just Transition into our new global fixed-income impact bond strategy (SFDR 9). We invest 100% in sustainable bonds which we have identified with a solid Just Transition profile, according to our proprietary methodologies.

Addressing biodiversity issues: Processed food industry efforts towards preserving ecosystems

Processed food companies are highly dependent on the agribusiness sector. They therefore have a key role to play in protecting biodiversity. They also have a major interest in doing so, as the destruction of ecosystems has a direct impact on their business model and the long-term sustainability of their businesses. Adapting practices and changing behaviour is a vital response to consumer and shareholder expectations, whose awareness regarding the environmental impact of production methods and supply chains is increasing constantly. As an investor, Ostrum Asset Management (Ostrum AM) uses stewardship, dialogue and voting policy to curb the most harmful practices and encourage sustainable innovation.
