On November 15, Sanlam Investments will host its final Critical Conversations thought-leadership discussion for 2021. The event will shine a light on the future of sustainability and examine how the outcomes of COP26 — in particular the R131bn capital commitment to SA — might affect the future.
“We need to fundamentally change the way we view investing right now. Profits are important, but we need to ensure they are anchored in sustainable practices. As an industry, asset managers are in a powerful position to lead investors, big corporates and the public sector into being sustainability-led,” says Sanlam Investments CEO Nersan Naidoo.
He explains that sustainability-led investing has embedded economic, social and governance factors as the investment principles guiding portfolio management. “It looks at the impact beyond the numbers and incorporates the impact on people and the planet too,” he says.
