Sustainability and profitability – the importance of asset management in a more sustainable society

Speaker: Marcus Svedberg, Senior Advisor SSFC

With sustainable finance playing an important role towards a more sustainable society, what role does asset management play? Asset management can be a long-termism way to invest sustainably. Asset managers can look for companies to invest that contribute actively to sustainable development. Is this one way of incentivising ownership of corporates to implement more sustainable business practices? How can sustainability and profitability go hand in hand? Can industries be persuaded to think in new dimensions and around new business models?

This session is hosted by the Swedish Delegation for the 2030 Agenda.
