RESPONSIBLE INVESTING
Word of the CEO
It has become clear to all now that climate change is a huge challenge. The challenge is that while actions we must take now can and will pay off, their impact may only be noticeable in 20 years time or beyond. The challenge is that current generations need to make efforts not for themselves but for those who will come after them. In a society addicted to instant gratification, the challenge is to focus on longer term objectives.
At Atlanti, with the third generation now working in the company, we have lived the value of long term thinking and we know that we can make a long term impact with actions taken today. The concept of sustainability, of thinking about our duty and responsibilities towards generations to come is engrained in our company’s thinking.
Our commitment to sustainable investments instils in us the duty we all hold for future generations. Perspective matters
Climate Risk can be managed
While Climate change is inevitable, especially as we are “addicted” to energy consumption, it can be managed.
Our climate “budget” is finite. Transition to net-zero is our only option.
We can still decide which path we want to take.
Climate Crisis and why we need to avoid it.
Global CO2 emissions continue to rise relentlessly
With another record high reached in 2019
Climate Change is Inevitable but it’s amplidude mainly depends on our capacity to globally reduce the CO2 emission.
A +4 °C temperature increase by 2100 means a large portion of the African, Asian and South American continent would be uninhabitable.
Investment requirements and opportunities for climate and environmental projects will be huge over the coming decades
