Embark Investor Confidence Barometer: Investors recognise climate responsibility, but ambivalence to act remains

LONDON, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Embark Investor Confidence Barometer has revealed that the majority of investors believe that it is their responsibility to invest in a way that doesn't contribute to climate change. However, despite this, investors appear ambivalent to acting with a half of respondents saying that responsible investing is not important when making decisions about their portfolio - a concerning insight as COP 26 draws near. This is particularly the case for the youngest investors, even though most do not believe it hinders returns.
