    China has established itself as a dominant force in Africa’s mining sector, with a strategic focus on securing essential resources for its manufacturing and energy transition goals.

    As global demand for critical minerals escalates, China’s involvement in Africa’s mining industry is reshaping the regional dynamics of resource extraction, economic development, and geopolitical influence.

    In brief

    • Rising geopolitical tensions and a renewed focus on national security have redirected capital toward tangible defense capabilities, particularly those powered by emerging technologies like drones and advanced propulsion systems.
    • Defense stocks have historically been resilient, underpinned by long-term contracts and stable, government-backed cash flows. Increasingly, the sector is also being shaped by broader themes such as climate policy and industrial innovation.
    • While many investors have traditionally excluded defense, a more nuanced approach is gaining traction—one that balances ethical considerations with the sector’s evolving strategic role and governments’ increased defense spending.
    • Engagement, rather than exclusion, may offer a more constructive path forward. As with any capital cycle, this shift will create both opportunities and risks.

    Key findings:

    • Hurricane-exposed firms significantly underperformed, with effects compounding up to 30 business days post-event.
    • Tail risk increased: The lowest-performing firms continued to decline over the 36-day study window.
    • Concentrated exposures worsened underperformance versus diversified footprints.
      Utilities were most vulnerable, while IT and industrial companies suffered mainly when critical or concentrated assets were exposed.
    • Adaptation strategies helped reduce performance declines.

    Key findings

    • Water quality is a new frontline of climate risk: Nestlé’s recent setbacks show extreme weather can drive contamination and costly reputational and financial fallout. Five other beverage firms may face similar risks.
    • Mitigation strategies vary: Companies with more water-efficient processes may mitigate some of the risks of contamination as part of a holistic water-management approach.
    • Climate hazards create compounding events: Floods, heat waves and droughts are increasingly converging, creating compounding risks for companies. Investors who assess climate threats in isolation risk missing the bigger picture.

    "Access to medicines and healthcare in low- and middle-income countries continues to be a challenge for large parts of the world’s population.

    There are high expectations of large global pharmaceutical companies to engage in solving these challenges; not doing so can raise serious reputational risk. However, two perspectives remain underexplored in the current global health landscape.

    • Firstly, the potential financial upside of company action on global health is less comprehensively investigated compared to the frequent focus on companies’ contributions to societal value creation.
    • Secondly, despite a wide range of multistakeholder initiatives that enable dialogue and action on this important issue, the investor view is rarely isolated and examined.

    SLR Consulting convened a group of investors to examine access to medicine through the lens of commercial opportunity."

    In our view, robust human rights due diligence is a great step toward addressing inequalities—and managing both idiosyncratic and systemic risk.

    It’s vital to recognize that in today’s interconnected global economy, human rights violations have become real investment risks—not just ethical concerns.

    Investors increasingly face financial, legal, and reputational consequences when companies in their portfolios are linked to abuses, including regulatory penalties, consumer backlash, operational disruptions, and stakeholder pressure to divest.

    In the world of investment, fashion might not be the first sector that comes to mind when thinking about systemic risk. But beneath the surface of seasonal trends and glossy campaigns lies a complex and increasingly volatile supply chain landscape, one that’s becoming a material concern for asset managers. 

    RepRisk’s latest analysis of global supply chain risk reveals a sobering truth: reputational, regulatory, and operational risks are mounting, and they’re not confined to emerging markets or fringe players. They’re embedded in the operations of some of the world’s most prominent brands and they carry direct implications for financial institutions.

    (https://profundo.nl/projects/roasting-the-planet-big-meat-and-dairy-s-big-emissions-/)

    This report presents the latest global assessment of the meat and dairy industry's outsized climate impacts, estimating the greenhouse gas emisions generated by 45 of the world's major meat and dairy processing companies in 2023/22.

    Together, these companies emitted an estimated 1.02 billion tonnes CO₂-equivalent — making them, if treated as a single country, the ninth-largest emitter in the world, with combined emissions exceeding those reported for Saudi Arabia.

    Their methane emissions alone are estimated to surpass those reported for all EU-27 countries plus the UK combined. Just five firms — JBS, Marfrig, Tyson, Minerva and Cargill — account for nearly half (47%) of the total, emitting an estimated 480 MtCO₂-eq, more than reported for Chevron, Shell or BP. JBS, identified as the highest-emitting meat company, accounts for almost one quarter (24%) of total estimated emissions across the 45 companies; previous analyses have found its methane footprint alone to exceed that reported for ExxonMobil and Shell combined.
