Global Sustainable Investment Review 2020

The Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA) has unveiled its long-awaited Global Sustainable Investment Review 2020, the world’s definitive source for measuring the global state of responsible investments. Robeco sponsored this year’s edition.

Published every two years, the review gives a comprehensive overview of the size, growth and dynamics of the sustainable investment industry in the world’s major developed markets.

Since the last edition in 2018, the world has been battered by a viral pandemic which paralysed citizens and shutdown economies. Moreover, extreme weather patterns have shattered long-standing records and scuttled estimates from scientific models.

Whether in spite or because of the increasing frequency and destructiveness of heretofore improbable events, investments in assets classified as sustainable are increasing in most parts of the world. The new study reveals that global sustainable investment has grown 15% since 2018 to reach US $ 35.3 trillion. That means sustainable investment now makes up more than one-third (36%) of assets within global capital markets.
