WHAT IS DRIVING SUSTAINABLE INVESTING FORWARD?
Investors today want to align their investments with their personal and social values. Whether it’s tackling marine or water pollution, addressing climate change, alleviating poverty or helping more women break the glass ceiling, we are witnessing a rising demand for sustainable investing incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted core sustainability issues, such as income inequality, insufficient medical care as well as disrupted global supply chains. As a result, sustainability is likely to be increasingly important for investors.
Traditional accounting based financial analysis is inadequate to cope with hidden risks and opportunities, which are very important to determine management quality and reputational risks. These ESG-related hidden risks and opportunities could create actual tangible impact on the performance of investment portfolios.
SO WHAT'S ESG?
At Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI), we consider ESG – environmental, social and governance – factors alongside financial factors in our investment decision-making process.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA
Indonesia ranks second among nations with the highest plastic waste contribution to the ocean. In order to reduce its plastic waste, Indonesia has implemented several regulations to minimize the use of plastic bags.
Indonesia has begun directing its people to convert to using electric vehicles through various programs and regulation. The use of electric vehicles is expected to help reduce fuel imports and support the target of net zero emissions by 2060.
In order to realize its target of reducing 29% of national greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, Indonesia has formulated a roadmap and strategies allocated to relevant sectors, including energy, industry, waste, agriculture, and forestry.

By 2030, Indonesia hopes to achieve 100% universal access to clean sanitation.
As the largest ASEAN country, Indonesia accounts for nearly two-fifths of energy consumption in ASEAN. In order to minimize its reliance on domestic production of coals and imported fuel, Indonesia aims to achieve 31% use of renewable energy by 2050.
Reducing poverty has posed a tough challenge to this country of 275 million people, though its efforts to reduce poverty have produced positive results, with a 9.54% decline in poverty rate in 2022.
OUR DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABLE INVESTING
Recognising our clients’ needs, we offer a range of sustainable investing approaches.
With sustainable investing no longer seen as a trend but as an essential consideration in portfolio management, the investment industry is at a tipping point. Sustainable investing approaches can deliver positive outcomes, and active engagement with the companies in which we invest offers potential benefits.
Sustainable investing for AllianzGI includes three broad categories: ESG risk-focused, Sustainability-focused and Impact-focused.
