Product Spotlight: Bovaer An impactful climate change solution The problem •
Cows make methane, a byproduct of digesting the tough food they eat, and it’s released into the air burp by burp
•
Methane is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in a much more potent way than CO2
The Solution • Bovaer is a food additive that helps prevent the conversion of cow feed into methane • Use of ¼ teaspoon daily in a cow’s feed reduces methane production by 30%

What is Responsible Investing? There are a number of approaches within RI
ESG Integration
Sustainability investing
Considering Environmental, Social and corporate Governance (ESG) factors – both risks and opportunities – in the investment process.
Investments that target companies with sustainable business practices & products.
An essential element of RI
Example: Best of Sector, positive screening
Ethical or socially responsible investing
Impact investing
Investments which incorporate ethical and/or other values-based considerations.
Investments that seek to achieve targeted environmental and social outcomes in addition to financial returns.
Example: Exclusions/negative screening
Example: Green bonds
28
The ‘Outperformer’ in Fixed Interest markets = Impact Bonds
29
What is a Green Bond
When the bond matures, investors get their capital back
Borrowers use this money to build solar plants, wind farms and other facilities that help fight climate change
The bank then lends the investor money to borrowers who want to finance “green” infrastructure projects
A lender like a bank announces a green bond
Investors buy these bonds
Like other securities, investors earn interest on their bonds
