Sustainable investments<\/span> – good for the climate and you.<\/h1>\n
\n

At<\/span> MEGATREND INVEST<\/a><\/span> sustainability is essential in all of our investments. We only make sustainable investments, and there are several reasons for this. For example, a sustainable index from MSCI (Select Reduced Fossil Fuels) has had a 30% better return since 2012 compared to the corresponding non-sustainable index. Also, sustainable investments support a better climate and a better future for all of us. You thus help both the environment and your investment portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heyfunding<\/span><\/a> have talked to Steen and Mathias from MEGA about problems, startups, investors, etc. in the context of sustainable investment. Below you will find an excerpt from the interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“The problem when you start talking about sustainable investment is the question – what is sustainability? It differs from person to person and culture to culture. The term is often used and sometimes misused. A funny example, an acquaintance once saw at a trade fair in Asia, was a company that had produced a mug in clay, which they advertised as sustainable. When asked why it was sustainable, they replied, “yes, it’s because you can wash it up and use it again”, says Steen.<\/p>\n

“For us, sustainability is about making a positive impression on the climate, the environment, the globe, people, etc., and that is what we at MEGATREND INVEST mean when we talk about sustainability. Our investments must support the future – in other words: We invest in the companies we do not want the future to miss.”<\/p>\n

“But sustainability can be challenging to measure, precisely because the perception of the concept varies. For example. How do you report that we save so much CO2 and compare it to another company that saves so many children? It’s hard to line up the two.<\/p>\n

Let me give you a quick example:<\/p>\n
