Thinking green? Buy miners, BlackRock suggests to investors
Miners and metals companies with a strong sustainability project (and no doubt Chief Sustainability Officer) will fetch a premium.
âPeople pay premiums for companies that are lower carbon producers,â Olivia Markham, who manages BlackRockâs mining investments, said this week â as major institutional investors continue to point to a âgreen premiumâ or additional value for companies achieved by reducing their carbon footprint meaningfully.
That shift hints anew at the potential ROI for organisations of investing in and empowering a strong Chief Sustainability Officer with a mandate to help develop âsustainable competitive advantageâ as well as meet regulatory responsibilities.
