The decarbonization process stands as a central pillar in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and in reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. As climate concerns rise, sustainable investing has moved to the forefront of the financial world, drawing growing attention from investors who want to align their portfolios with environmental, social, and governance objectives. This shift reflects a broader belief that sustainability can drive long‑term value, resilience, and positive impact on society and the environment, while offering a framework for prudent risk management and responsible growth.
Investing in sustainability involves a range of approaches and risk profiles. Thorough analysis and expert evaluation are essential to identify opportunities that align with specific objectives and risk tolerance. Consequently, the upcoming gathering aims to unite diverse perspectives to discuss macroeconomic trends, market dynamics, and the evolving landscape for sustainable investments in the years ahead, with careful consideration given to strategic paths in 2023 and beyond.
During the event at the BİLGİ Club, beginning at 18:00, Roberto Hernandez, a specialist in Strategy and Analysis of Private Banking Investments at BBVA, will outline current and anticipated economic expectations shaping markets. Ximo Raga, Private Banking Director for the Eastern Region, and André Themudo, Sales Director for BlackRock Iberia International, will address the main challenges and opportunities presented by the energy transition over the coming decades. They will explore the benefits of sustainable investing and explain why it makes sense within a diversified portfolio prepared for tomorrow’s uncertainties.
It is important to note that BBVA Private Banking prioritizes advancing client and investor interests by presenting the best investment ideas available. To support this objective, specialists from BlackRock and BBVA will participate, bringing international expertise to identify successful trends in sustainability for the current year. BBVA’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in financial solutions designed to support customers during their green transition, a core focus among its six strategic priorities.
From BBVA Private Banking, a forward‑looking view is offered: 2023 began with cautious optimism for investors, yet it remains a year where common sense and prudent risk management must prevail due to a significant number of uncertainties. Industry experts note that while 2023 was expected to mark a period of recovery for global financial markets, the year also presented notable complexity in economic activity and policy environments. This nuanced outlook emphasizes the value of diversified exposure to sustainable themes as part of a resilient asset allocation, a stance reinforced by market watchers and corporate leaders who highlight the longer horizon required for meaningful progress in decarbonization and energy transition. The discussion underscores that sustainable investing is not a single trade but a disciplined approach to integrating environmental and social considerations with traditional financial analysis, aiming to balance growth opportunities with risk controls for a sustainable future.
