More specifically, Xavier Lépine’s discussion topic will cover: “Global warming demands immediate attention and action on behalf of world citizens. Since 2008, all eyes are focused on the world of finance. Now, asset managers have the opportunity to make a positive contribution, thereby creating a win-win situation for both investors and low carbon emitters. The creation of innovative “zero carbon” investment strategies simultaneously creates incentive for corporations and long term performance perspectives for investors. “Strategically aware investing” is no longer an option. It’s a requirement.”
