제 6차 글로벌지속가능투자리뷰

Global Sustainable Investment Review 2022

 

글로벌지속가능투자연합(GSIA)에서 6번째 지속가능투자 규모를 발표했습니다. 

 

보고서에 의하면, 글로벌 지속가능투자 자산은 총 30조 3000억 달러로 집계됐으며, 유럽, 캐나다, 일본, 호주, 뉴질랜드 등 미국 외 국가(non-US markets)의 지속가능투자 자산이 20% 이상 증가했습니다. 

 

반면, 미국의 지속가능투자 자산은 감소했습니다. 이로 인해 글로벌 지속가능투자 자산 규모가 2020년 35조 달러 이상에서 2022년 30조 3000억 달러로 13% 줄어든 것으로 추산됐습니다. 그러나 이는 지속가능투자 상품에 대한 그린워싱을 막기 위해 엄격한 기준이 적용됐기 때문입니다. 엄격한 기준 적용으로 인해 지속가능투자 자산을 집계하는 방법론이 변경됐으며 이전에 지속가능투자 자산으로 분류됐던 일부 자산이 제외(구체적인 세부 기주에 대해서 정보를 제공하지 않은 기업들의 자산 제외 등)됬습니다. 미국의 지속가능투자 자산 규모는 2020년 17조 달러에서 2022년 8.4조 달러로 추산됍니다. 유럽 또한 공시 규제 및 지속가능금융 상품에 대한 엄격한 기준이 적용되어 유럽의 장기 투자 규모가 5% 감소했습니다.    

 

엄격한 기준으로 인해 글로벌 지속가능투자 자산 규모가 조사 이후 처음으로 감소했지만, 글로벌 지속가능금융 산업이 보다 명확한 공시 규정과 라벨링 제도 도입을 통해 성숙해지고 있음을 보여줍니다. 전 세계적으로 지속가능 투자 자산에 대한 명확한 정의와 보편화된 이해의 필요성을 강조하는 추세인데 강화된 기준으로 지속가능투자가 어떻게 정의되는지 명확해질 수 있습니다.

 

보고서는 더 나아가, 투자자들이 기업의 참여 및 주주활동을 통해 지속가능투자와 관련된 위험을 감소시키고 기업의 변화를 촉진하고 있다는 사실을 강조합니다.

Key Findings

  • $30.3 trillion is invested globally in sustainable investing assets.
  • Data published in new GSIA report – Global Sustainable Investment Review 2022 – the 6th edition of this landmark publication.
  • In non-US markets, sustainable investment assets under management (AUM) have increased by 20% since 2020.
  • Increased rigour in US results in decline in assets labelled as 'sustainable'
  • Findings reflect continued efforts by industry, regulators and policymakers to better define sustainable investments and address greenwashing risks, leading to more reliable measurements of global sustainable AUM.
  • Launched to inform discussions at COP28, sustainable investment organisations from across the world make a series of policy recommendations for the international community to consider.

 

The Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA) has today published its sixth edition of the biennial Global Sustainable Investment Review (GSIR), sponsored by HSBC Global Research, finding that US$30.3 trillion is invested in sustainable assets globally.

 

The report shows that in non-US markets – Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand – there has been a 20% increase in sustainable assets under management (AUM) since the 2020 GSIR.

 

The report also showcases a maturing of the industry, which includes the adoption of tighter definitions of when a fund can be described as ‘sustainable’. These newly imposed standards were a direct response to growing concerns around ‘greenwashing’ and thus impacted how the US SIF has measured ‘sustainable assets’ in the period to 2022.  As a result of the US SIF’s methodology change, the report finds a drop from $17tn in reported AUM in the United States in 2020 to $8.4tn in 2022.

 

Similarly, in Europe, the long-term trend suggests that the proportion of assets defined as ‘sustainable’ has been declining by around 5% per year. Increased requirements around disclosure regulations and the tightening of definitions around sustainable investing and its related approaches may be contributing to this decline.

 

A wider trend is also emerging globally highlighting the need for clearer definitions and a more shared understanding around what makes a sustainable asset ‘sustainable’. Further developments can be expected in the years to come, as the EU’s Sustainable Financial Disclosures Regulation (SFDR) continues to evolve, alongside other global disclosure and labelling approaches, and as data availability and quality increases.

 

The sustainable and responsible investment industry’s continued maturation is also visible in the strategies being deployed by firms and their clients to promote sustainable outcomes. The GSIR finds investors are increasingly making use of corporate engagement and shareholder action to drive corporate change and reduce sustainability-related investment risks.
