In this edition of our quarterly Sustainable Investment Review, we examine sustainability across several aspects of alternative investments, an area attracting renewed interest in the current macro environment of sustained inflation and rising interest rates.

Storebrand Asset Management CEO Jan-Erik Saugestad reflects on what might be missing from current debates about sustainable investment. Margrethe Assev previews her priorities as she begins in the new role of Storebrand Group Chief Sustainability Officer; and Chief Investment Officer Dagfin Norum provides an update on how we build climate-resilient fixed income portfolios.

Is the role of properties in the climate challenge mainly about passive energy efficiency and sourcing renewables? Sustainability managers Unn Hofstad and Rune Stenbro give us an early look at Storebrand Real Estate's journey towards a much more active future.

Do endangered species really matter, from the investor perspective? Head of Climate and Environment Emine Isciel sheds light on the issues and dilemmas that investors now face on protecting nature in the net zero transition.
