Sustainable investments: combining returns and environmental protection – that’s what ex-BlackRock manager Terrence Keeley says.

Sustainable investments: combining returns and environmental protection – that’s what ex-BlackRock manager Terrence Keeley says.

How www.deraktionaer.de reports, the trend towards sustainable investments that really make a difference has long since arrived on the stock market. But ex-BlackRock manager Terrence Keeley claims that sustainable investments do not always lead to profits or a good cause. He argues that the way sustainability is traded on the stock market does not necessarily lead to attractive returns.

From an economic expert's perspective, it is important to note that the trend towards sustainable investments has increased significantly in recent years. This trend has been driven by growing concerns about climate change, carbon emissions and social injustice. Investors and consumers are increasingly looking for ethical investment and consumption options.

However, Keeley's assessment raises important questions, particularly around the long-term impact on the market and consumers. If sustainable investments actually do not deliver the expected returns while not having the intended positive impact on the environment and society, this could lead to increasing skepticism towards sustainable forms of investment. This, in turn, could have an impact on the growth and development of the sustainable investment industry.

It is therefore crucial that investors and companies undertake a comprehensive assessment and analysis of the real impact of sustainable investments on markets, consumers and the industry as a whole. This is the only way to make an informed decision about how to effectively design sustainable investments to achieve both financial returns and positive environmental and social impacts.
