Thematic Investing
Sustainable Water
Increased water consumption from industries and populations are draining the value of the planet’s liquid assets. The Sustainable Water strategy invests in companies creating solutions to protect the quality and quantity of the world’s water supplies.

Why invest in water?
Population growth and industrialization as well as dietary changes and urbanization are global trends contributing to water scarcity worldwide. Agriculture is already the biggest water consumer globally which is set to increase further as incomes and diets in emerging markets shift from plants and cereals to water-intensive meats and dairy. In developed markets, the digitalization of industry is driving water consumption, a trend that is set to continue with the growth in high-tech industries such as semiconductors which require purified water for chip production as well as data centers which use it for cooling.
Moreover, municipalities across developed and emerging markets require massive investments to upgrade outdated public water infrastructure and expand wastewater treatment facilities.
The strategy
The Sustainable Water strategy invests in water utilities and waste treatment plants that eliminate harmful contaminants and keep water supplies safe for use by populations, industry and agriculture.
From pipes, pumps and valves to sophisticated analytical testing and filtration systems, the strategy invests in the upstream companies providing the equipment and technologies needed to efficiently collect, purify, and redistribute water to residential, industrial and commercial customers or to the natural environment. Also in focus are the environmental service firms that provide the specialized engineering and know-how needed to ensure public water infrastructure is properly maintained and upgraded.
