The drive towards a sustainable future is reshaping the global landscape and has consequently moved to the forefront in the world of asset management. Since COP21 in 2015, organisations and governments have began addressing the huge challenge of decarbonisation. Since infrastructure, construction and operation constitutes 70% of global GHG emissions, sustainable asset strategies are a key enabler of this global ambition.

The energy transition transcends the energy sector, impacting organisations across the board. From utilities to transportation, and from manufacturing to public services, every asset portfolio is undergoing a pivotal change. Where once the triad of risk, performance, and cost dictated asset management, we now witness an incremental fourth dimension – sustainability.

Asset management principles are also evolving. The Institute of Asset Management’s Asset Anatomy’s fourth edition explicitly recognises the urgent need to embed ESG considerations, carbon abatement, and circular economy principles into asset management methodologies. This shift majorly attributes to the evolution of the 6-box capability model into a more holistic 10 Box perspective.

This presentation will unpack these changes and explore examples of asset portfolios around the world effectively applying these new and evolved capabilities, by employing novel renewable solutions, as they advance through the energy transition.
