A large delegation from Amundi, made up of Timothée Jaulin, Tegwen Le Berthe, Annie Chor Joyce, Perrine Theillard and Gustavo Lozano took part in the PRI in Person event in São Paulo, Brazil, from November 4th to November 6th.
For us, responsible investment means aligning ambitious climate action with inclusive economic development. Timothée Jaulin, Head of Responsible Investment Development & Advocacy, joined a timely panel titled “Just transition principles in practice: aligning climate action and inclusive economic development” — alongside representatives from GEPF, UNEP FI, FGV São Paulo School of Business Administration, and IndustriALL Global Union.
Our delegation also took part in various other events in Sao Paulo, hosted by HSBC, UBS, BNP Paribas, JP Morgan, MSCI, and the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative.
Moreover, we hosted a side event at the PRI in Person 2025 on November 4th to tackle a pressing question: how to enhance portfolio resilience against rising nature and climate risks?
More than 100 clients joined a focused conversation on how investors can act now to protect long‑term value as nature-related and climate risks intensify. Discussions centered on nature-based solutions, engagement for natural capital preservation, and AI-driven approaches to integrate nature and climate risks into portfolios.
Featured speakers:
- Bertrand Millot, Head of Sustainability, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ)
- Kalob Williams, Head of Asset Management, Lancry Natural Capital
- Patricia Torres, Head of Sustainable Finance Solutions, Bloomberg
- Alejandro Bujanos, VP Sustainable Investing, Afore Sura
- Rodrigo Lauria, Director of Climate Change, Vale
- Guillaume Mouscadet, VP Business Software Transformation, Kayrros
- Tegwen Le Berthe, Head of ESG Method & Scoring, Amundi
- Timothée Jaulin, Head of Responsible Investment Development & Advocacy, Amundi
- Annie Chor Joyce, Head of Responsible Investing in the Americas, Amundi
- Perrine Theillard, Head of Strategic Partnerships & Advocacy, Amundi
Key takeaways from the discussions include:
- Nature-based solutions can deliver measurable risk mitigation and returns when deployed with robust metrics and engagement strategies.
- Active engagement is essential to preserve natural capital and address transition risks across sectors and regions.
- A key challenge remains the access to standardized, high-quality data — it requires rigorous, cross-functional processes that combine tech/AI pipelines with human judgment. In other words, simply adding more data points to the shelf does not create value if not with with contextual validation and curated interpretation.
