Driving positive change while pursuing returns—this is what successful sustainable finance looks like. We applaud Council for Inclusive Capitalism member Temasek's S$44 billion (US$32.6 billion) sustainable living investment portfolio, unveiled in their inaugural sustainability report. This investment underscores Temasek's commitment to net zero by 2050. Key highlights: - S$38 billion in sustainability-focused investments - S$6 billion supporting climate transitions - Investments spanning clean energy, sustainable transportation, and innovative agri-tech - 5% reduction in net carbon emissions since 2010 - Strategic partnerships to advance renewable energy projects Rohit Sipahimalani, Chief Investment Officer, stated, "Our exposure to the Sustainable Living Trend is steadily growing as we see more innovation and significant opportunities in this space. There is no doubt that if we don't invest in businesses that are aligned with sustainability principles, it is going to be very difficult to sustain returns because there are no long-term trade-offs between the two." We can all gain insights from Temasek's transparency and strategic approach to sustainability.

I’m pleased to share Temasek’s inaugural sustainability report, which takes into consideration the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) disclosure standards. The report builds on the sustainability disclosures we as a global investor have made to date and shares in more depth our strategy, targets, and milestones, as well as the challenges we are addressing on our path towards net zero, nature positive, and inclusive growth. Some highlights of the progress we’re making: We have been deploying capital to catalyze solutions that enable the transition to a low carbon sustainable future. As of 31st March 2024, our portfolio value of Sustainability Living trend aligned investments reached S$44 billion. We remain committed to decarbonizing our portfolio and having real world impact. Our portfolio emissions have declined by 6m tCO2e over the past FY and we have raised our internal carbon price to US$65 per tCO2e. We continue to deepen the integration of E, S, and G factors across our investment lifecycle including embarking on a nature and social roadmap. This enables us to proactively identify and manage risks and engage our portfolio companies to drive sustainable value creation for the long-term. By sharing our sustainability efforts over the years, and strategies going forward, our hope is that we can continue to engage in meaningful dialogue with relevant stakeholders, including those of you seeing this post. As we continue deploying our capital with impact, integrate sustainability into our investment decisions, and forge partnerships to address the global challenges, I am optimistic that our collective efforts will enable sustainable returns and a sustainable future for generations beyond ourselves.

Neglecting asset upkeep now may lead to difficulties when selling them later. 👉 According to CapitaLand Investment’s chief sustainability officer, with the shift to becoming greener, firms that do not invest early enough will be hit by the #carbontax. 👉 Banks now offer loans that are tied to green goals that could translate into interest rate savings or better #environmental, social and governance (#ESG) credit ratings. 👉 “If you’re green enough as a company, it may expand your pool of investors or debt financiers, which may lower your cost of capital,” said Mr. Vinamra Srivastava. 📧 Have questions or seeking opportunities?

Southeast Asia 'woefully off track' on green investment, Bain says South East Asia is "woefully off track" on green investments to reduce emissions and needs new policies and financial mechanisms to help bridge the gap, the global consultancy Bain & Company said on Monday https://lnkd.in/gPwHghb9 With energy consumption in the region expected to grow 40% this decade, climate-warming carbon dioxide emissions remain on the rise, with the region still dependent on fossil fuels, said an annual report compiled by Bain, green investment group GenZero, Standard Chartered Bank and Temasek. While green investment grew 20% last year, it is way short of the $1.5 trillion required this decade, and emissions in the 10 countries in the region could overshoot their 2030 pledges by 32% if they continue on their current trajectory, it warned.

The Responsible Investment Association (RIAA) recently launched their new Sustainability Classifications initiative. The classifications build on RIAA’s certification program and take into account the approach a fund takes in considering ESG factors and the degree to which sustainability is addressed or targeted. As well as being RIAA certified, NorthStar Impact Australian Equities Fund has been awarded the highest rating of “Sustainability Plus” by RIAA. It’s great acknowledgement of the work we do, to not only invest in positive impact companies, but to work with these companies and our broader networks to extend their impact, drive positive outcomes and to measure and report on this in our annual impact report. You can find out more about the RIAA’s new sustainability classifications here: https://lnkd.in/gRj8bDqq You can read NorthStar’s 2023 Impact Report here: https://lnkd.in/gK2R-UhH

Alphabet soup🔠🥣 in #ESG = usual negative connotations. Here's my positive spin. Do you know -there are over 600 #ESGratings and rankings (according to ERM Sustainability Institute) -there are discussions on ESG rating agencies needing to improve their transparency https://lnkd.in/dFMciY5w How then do we navigate through this alphabet soup in the interim? We focus on 1️⃣ executing well,2️⃣ disclosing in a timely manner & 3️⃣ aligning to international standards. Glad to share the following alphabets (& numbers) on CapitaLand Investment ✅️ the only real estate company in the top 10% for S&P Global’s #Sustainability Yearbook 2024. We have been the 1st & longest standing Singapore 🇸🇬 company for 15 years via the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) ✅️ the only Singapore company in the 2024 Carbon #Clean200. This is our 6th time on this global index recognizing companies for their efforts in #cleanenergytransition ✅️ remains MSCI Inc. AAA rated for our ESG performance for the 3rd year ✅️ #FTSE4Good constituent for the 11th year What this is really all about. 💪Team effort. Much thanks to the global colleagues & corporate teams working hard behind the scenes. 🚶♂️🚶♀️Top management commitment, especially in walking the talk & embedding #esgperformance into our balanced scorecard 🤝🏻 External #stakeholderengagement & collaboration. Whilst global news may be a tad pessimistic, e.g. only 15% of UN SDGs are on track to be achieved by 2030: and 2023 was confirmed by EU scientists to be the hottest🌡☀️ year (going back to 1850), but I remain optimistic. As Helen Keller said “Alone, we can do so little, together we can do so much”. Let us together face on the new Dragon Year of 2024 with renewed enthusiasm and commitment.
