As we look ahead to 2025, sustainable investing is set to evolve with several key trends. The race to net-zero will intensify, with companies under increasing pressure to align with global climate targets, such as those laid out in the Paris Agreement. This will drive investments in clean technologies and climate-focused assets, as highlighted by AXA IM's outlook. The rise of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) integration will further shape investment decisions, with investors prioritizing sustainability alongside profitability.
According to Allianz Global Investors, this shift will be coupled with a growing demand for transparency and impact measurement. Additionally, private markets are expected to play a bigger role, with Schroders predicting more private equity funds targeting climate-related innovations. As these themes take shape, investors will need to stay agile and informed to navigate the dynamic landscape ahead.
