We believe that the best kind of sustainable investing is shaped around you. We've created a comprehensive and transparent platform offering values-based, ESG, thematic, and impact investing strategies.
Companies must invest more in renewable energy and clean power generation for a net-zero carbon economy by 2050. This creates a big investment opportunity during the global energy transition.
The food that feeds the world is changing—dramatically. And this profound transformation of our global food ecosystem is creating, in our view, great opportunities for investors today.
During the Sustainability & Impact Summit, we are taking the opportunity to showcase innovations and initiatives shared with us by some of our attendees and speakers today.
In May 2023, J.P. Morgan Asset & Wealth Management installed their very first beehive on the rooftop of our 60 Victoria Embankment office. Partnering with a specialist provider of urban beekeeping services, our newest 15,000 'employees' have been settling into their new home and have been busy working on pollinating the surrounding gardens and green spaces (up to 5 miles away!), making a huge contribution to local urban biodiversity in the process.
We will track the health of our busy bees over time, providing fascinating insights into what they're eating and the local ecology of the City of London. In time, they will even produce delicious J.P. Morgan honey that we will use in our food and beverage offerings for both internal and external events.
Initiatives like these transform urban environments into a welcoming home for wild bees, encouraging biodiversity in the City of London and taking the sting out of the longstanding decline of wildflower meadows in the UK.
JPMorgan Chase's new state-of-the-art global headquarters is a 60-story skyscraper, designed by Foster + Partners. It will be New York City's largest all-electric tower with net zero operational emissions and exceptional indoor air quality that exceeds the highest standards in sustainability, health, and wellness. It will help define the modern workplace with 21st century infrastructure, smart technology and 2.5 million square feet of flexible and collaborative space that can easily adapt to the future of work.
In addition to operating on net zero carbon emissions, the building will use state-of-the-art building technology and systems to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible, including:
The firm also recycled, reused, or upcycled 97% of the building materials from the demolition, far exceeding the 75% requirement of the leading green building standard.
Winners of The Earthshot Prize in 2022, in the category of 'Build a Waste-Free World', Notpla's packaging material is made from seaweed and plants that disappear naturally.
Throughout the day, Notpla refreshments will be available in the networking space in the form of edible bubbles to provide hydration on the go, replacing the need for single-use plastic cups and bottles for liquids.
Notpla Coating has many of the same grease and water-resistant qualities of traditional coatings used in takeaway food packaging but is made from seaweed, not plastic! At the end of the event, please feel free to take some sustainably created petit fours along with you in fully biodegradable Notpla boxes.
RedSea has developed a range of technologies to support large scale food systems while mitigating the impact of high temperatures and water scarcity. This includes the iyris | SecondSky transparent heat blocking roofs which utilize a unique new nanomaterial to let the light plants need to grow in, whilst absorbing excess heat.
This in turn saves water as plants transpire less and greenhouses need less cooling, thus producing more yield from happier plants and creating a better, more productive working environment.
This is a simple change to adopt as the nano material additive requires no change to roofing manufacturing processes.
Check out their mini greenhouses in the showcase today.
Blue Marine's mission is to see at least 30% of the world's ocean under effective protection by 2030 and the other 70% managed in a responsible way.
They work using a combination of top-down intervention to improve governance of our seas and bottom-up project delivery to help local communities who are at the front line of ocean conservation.
We have an interactive touch screen in the networking space to enable you to explore beneath the waves and see the impact that our choices and lifestyles are having on the ocean.
We are offsetting carbon footprint of all internal and external attendees and speakers. This is calculated using the point of origin of their travel and their method of transport.
The lanyards are made from recycled plastic found in the oceans and are reused for other events. The name cards are printed on recycled paper stock that is then further recycled post event.
The notepads that are available on request from the registration desk are 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. They are made in the UK.
The pens are made from recycled plastic and in a factory focused on minimizing their waste and CO2 emissions by using electrical energy produced by climate-friendly hydro-electricty.
Providing a few of these dotted around the H2 networking spaces with relevant marketing material and reports uploaded for guests to review so that we avoid excessive printing for the purposes of the event.
The flowers are supplied by FLOWERBX which is a company with sustainability is at the heart of it's business model.

Under their cut-to-order model, they buy flowers specifically to fulfil order requests, so the waste is significantly lower than other brands. They strive to deliver beauty while trading ethically and sustainably.
