clock • 1 min read

On 3 December, Baillie Gifford investment specialist Rosie Rankin shared insights on how, ten years on from the launch of the UN’s Sustainable Development goals, the investment backdrop looks very different to 2015.

During this digital event we discussed how we should think about investing for sustainable and inclusive growth in a world characterised by a higher cost of capital, fragmented geopolitics and rising ESG scepticism. We also explored why Baillie Gifford's conviction is stronger than ever that the world's most profitable companies will reflect the long-term needs of our time.

The session covered:

  • The changing backdrop for sustainable and impact funds
  • How solving global challenges are already providing some of the great structural growth opportunities of the coming decade
  • We consider how technology has the potential to supercharge positive progress
