Impact investing through listed equities and bonds

Triodos Investment Management serves as a catalyst in the transition to a balanced economy where natural and human capital are truly valued. To that end we invest only in companies that contribute to a sustainable society through their products, services, and business practices.

In this paper we explain how we do this through our investments in listed equities and bonds. We begin by examining the global trends that we believe pose significant challenges to mankind and that will shape the future of our planet and its ecosystems. Seven sustainable investment themes, which are instrumental in the transition to sustainable systems, emerge. We explore and assess how these themes provide opportunities for positive change. We investigate their origins, implications and suitability for investment.
