“The financial system is a capital intermediation system, but today I would say that it is also an information intermediation system. In the case of sustainable finance, there is therefore a role for mediating information on the environmental impact and the social and institutional externalities of economic activity, from the scientific community and from the public to the business community or to other „capital users”. At the end of this exercise, however, I believe that sustainable finance will merge with traditional finance, in the sense that many of the sustainability standards will become, so to speak, mainstream”, said Horia Braun-Erdei, General Manager and President of the Board of Directors of Erste Asset Management Romania.
“In Romania and in other places, it seems to me that we still look at sustainability as a „fashion”, as a business opportunity or, on the contrary, as a bureaucratic burden, but in reality my opinion is that this trend is a natural and inevitable one in the current climate change conditions, one that will radically change the way we think and act as economic actors. That is why, within the asset management industry and particularly within Erste Asset Management, the concern for sustainable investments becomes a constant for the agenda of any department, starting from sales, product management, legal & compliance, risk management, marketing and of course portfolio management”, he added.
Horia Braun-Erdei, CEO Erste Asset Management Romania, is one of the speakers of THE SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGE 2022 in the opening panel Trends.
