🌱 Proud to support the publication of the IFZ Sustainable Investments Study 2024! 📊 The study shares key insights into the evolving landscape of sustainable investing: 👉 Sustainable funds are experiencing headwinds for the first time in years, despite this, sustainable passive funds continue to perform well, while sustainable thematic funds are losing ground. 👉 Swiss retail banks are focusing heavily on green and sustainable products with the product category growing at an above-average rate. When advising on such topics, banks are required to provide customers with comprehensive information. 👉 Biodiversity is an emerging topic on the investment horizon. While there are initial indications that investors increasingly want to be compensated for biodiversity risks, only a few funds check investments for such risks. There’s much more to discover in the study! Thank you to the dedicated team and all the partners who made this research possible. It’s rewarding to contribute to such meaningful work. #ifzsustainability #hslu #nachhaltigkeit

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗙𝗗𝗥 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗺𝗮: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗽𝘀 Widespread underreporting and non-disclosure of key ESG indicators are creating significant data gaps, making regulatory compliance a challenge for asset managers. But there's a way to address these blind spots. At Inrate, we recognize that relying solely on reported SFDR data often leaves asset managers without crucial insights—especially in areas like human rights violations and controversial weapons involvement. To tackle these gaps, we offer granular data that goes beyond incomplete disclosures, utilizing alternative sources like controversies data, product screening, and business activity impact. Our solutions provide a full view of Principle Adverse Impacts (PAIs), creating a seamless reporting experience. 🔍 Want to make SFDR Reporting easier?

As a mother, I believe that answering their questions with openness and honesty is essential to helping them understand the impact of their choices. These are the moments that shape their values and guide them as they grow.   For instance, we often discuss why I don't feel the need to upgrade my phone as long as it works—even if it’s not the latest model or some features aren’t functioning perfectly. This leads to broader conversations about consumerism and waste. Similarly, I explain why I prefer shopping at second-hand clothing stores, reinforcing the idea of reducing our environmental footprint.   𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯. Our family loves to travel, but we're always mindful of the environmental impact. With food, we talk about the benefits of reducing meat and dairy, choosing organic, local and seasonal products, and avoiding processed foods.   The social aspect of sustainability is another important topic we cover.

When they push back, especially at the supermarket, I turn to the Yuka app. It gives an instant score and highlights any red flags like additives, helping my kids see for themselves why I say no to certain products.   𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.

🌍 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐀 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞 🌿 As biodiversity loss accelerates, the risks to investors are becoming more apparent. Clean air, water, soil fertility, and climate stability—all are deeply connected to healthy ecosystems. 🌱 Biodiversity loss is already ranked as the 3rd highest global risk for the next decade (World Economic Forum, 2024). At Inrate, we understand the urgency of integrating biodiversity into financial strategies, yet challenges like the absence of standardized metrics and reported data make this difficult. That’s why we’ve developed biodiversity-specific datasets to help investors navigate these risks and align their portfolios with nature’s needs. 👉 Click here https://lnkd.in/d4raGYh5 to explore how our solutions can support your investment strategy. #Biodiversity #ESG #SustainableInvesting #ResponsibleInvesting
