What do hedge fund managers and portfolio managers need to know about eco-conscious investing?

Here are some key points from the report:

The machinery sector has the smallest eco-footprint – with a comparatively low 0.247 billion tonnes of CO2E produced annually, followed by paper and pulp, then food and tobacco
CO2 emissions are the main measure – but there are other ways to assess the sustainability of an investment. Despite how there is still a long way to go with many targets lying decades ahead, some industries have already seen great success in reducing their carbon footprint
