Key of Low-Carbon Investment

The investment instrument that could be used as funding for a low-carbon economy is relatively inadequate. At least, it’s not as common as the traditional one. Whenever a company decides to be concerned, start by integrating the climate-change risk into equity investments.

By engaging in these green bonds, the funding mechanism will be highly transparent. Furthermore, it would widen the scope for other players who are also on the same journey toward sustainable energy.

Certainly, determining sustainable investment is not an easy task. Sometimes, many sectors are also facing a big difficulty in tracing their carbon footprint.

This is why they need innovative investors to accommodate in shaping the company’s policy in accordance with the low-carbon concept. There comes risk and also opportunities at the same time.

Not only for the companies involved in the energy sector, but other companies also need to obtain the strategy to reduce the emission and pollution.

Even the banking sector could also be responsible for achieving energy toward the low-carbon one.
