EY Australia conducted an investor survey to check how the risk of climate change to a prospective investment affects investment decisions. 8% of investors said it would rule out an investment in 2017 and the response jumped to 48% in 2018! The result shows that pressure from investors is making a big difference in company plans to deal with the issue.This trend was discussed at the Next Circle briefing in Sydney this week by Mathew Nelson, Global Climate Change and Sustainability Services Lead, EY.
