Systemic care, in which investors cooperate with a wide range of stakeholders to implement sustainability tasks, will be one of the main drivers of the ESG agenda in 2024. Fidelity’s goal is to help create a favorable policy and regulatory environment that enables and encourages companies to operate more sustainably. They have identified four themes that form the basis of their thinking about systemic care: climate change, the destruction of the natural environment, strong and effective corporate governance, and social inequalities.

Achieving net zero carbon emissions and preventing the destruction of nature is becoming an increasingly urgent issue, as a result of which markets are emerging that require more and more complex and decisive professional policy management.

“In response to this, investment managers develop their own role by involving regulatory authorities, political decision-makers and industry groups in addition to companies”

– said István Al-Hilal, Central and Eastern European director of Fidelity International.
