EDHEC, as part of its “Research for Business” strategy, has set
the ambitious goal of being one of the academic institutions
that has the greatest impact on the economy and on business
through the implementation of its research. One of the key
issues both for the financial industry and for the future
of our planet is to reconcile financial and environmental
performance.
We are very proud to announce that the research that we
have been conducting will be able to provide institutional
investors with smart beta indices that
reduce the carbon
footprint of their equity investments by more than 75%,
while creating
more than 50% additional value in the
medium term.
For more information on EDHEC’s research in finance and these smart beta indices,

far. Mankind will have to get
better at tackling it—but
must also learn to live with
it, says Joel Budd. See our
