天下文化‧相信閱讀【丁學文的財經世界】EP64 | 「ESG」突然成為了全球的顯學，我們該如何觀察？/ 2022年股票市場投資走向一週財經聚焦 一、2022年第一天，全球最大的燃煤出口國印尼就突然宣佈了暫停外銷；接著隔天，歐盟歐盟的「永續金融分類法」（sustainable finance taxonomy）打算把核能和天然氣列為「綠色」投資標的。「ESG」突然成為了全球的顯學，我們2022年怎麼觀察？ 國際媒體相關報導 ●The Wall Street Journal華爾街日報：〈The ESG Regulation Picture for 2022: Five Key Questions for Business〉(2022年ESG監管圖景：企業面臨的五個關鍵問題) ●Economist經濟學人：〈The EU’s green rules will do too little to tackle climate change〉(歐盟的綠色規則對應對氣候變化的作用太小) ●Financial Times倫敦金融時報：〈A green ray of hope in surging tech investment〉(一個科技投資激增帶來的綠色希望) 分析解讀 邁入2022年，資金仍然氾濫，但COP26 結束後的氣候變化議題仍在延燒，投資人對綠色轉型的投資熱情繼續增長。 我們可以看見資本前僕後湧的進入電動汽車產業。光2021年的特斯拉，股價就上漲了50%； 更別說中國的電池巨頭CATL寧德股價也上漲了68%。 根據PwC資誠最近的氣候科技報告，它顯示了自2013年以來，全球從創業投資、私募股權基金到政府基金、慈善團體，高達6,000名的投資人已經支持了3,000多家的氣候科技新創企業。全球投資人總共投資了大約 2,220 億美元給這些新創企業。而在2021年，整個資金又增加了 210%。 可是如果你仔細觀察，你會發現一些巨大的問題。如果全球要到 2050 年才能實現淨零碳排放，那投資總額還需要再增加一倍以上。現在的全球基金管理產業充斥著各種「漂綠」的現象，可持續性評級的計劃確實正在激增中，但極度的不一致，許多的基金在所謂的綠色資格認證方面，還是有誤導投資人的行為。 但幸運的是，2021年我們至少在一個領域上取得了令人鼓舞的進展：對氣候科技的大規模投資。 2022年，企業和投資者將迎來一系列關係到可持續發展的重要決策關鍵，這些抉擇將影響到他們未來在世界各地的ESG運作方式。 在即將到來的規則變化中，我認為需要關注的五個關鍵問題如下： 第一，SEC將如何處理如此密集的監管議程？ 預計美國證券交易委員會(U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 簡稱SEC)將在今年年初發布各種ESG（環境、社會和治理）提案，包括氣候披露規則。在這方面，據可持續投資行業組織US SIF的說法，重要的決策包括：是否要求企業必須報告範圍三(Scope 3)溫室氣體排放、針對小企業的要求是否應相對寬鬆，以及這些規則將如何由SEC成立的一個新執法工作組來督導實施。 SEC的議程還包括修改基金營銷規則。SEC主席Gary Gensler在10月份表示，SEC應考慮讓基金經理提供證據，以證明其基金具有「綠色環保」或「可持續」的性質。 勞動力多樣性則是另一個重點，圍繞人力資本管理和董事會多樣性的建議，都被列入了SEC議程。 美國的中期選舉可能造成共和黨控制國會，導致拜登政府的監管議程在國會遭受阻力，所以時間上更加緊迫。「他們為什麼想趕在今年完成這麼多工作，我想這是原因之一，」McGannon說。 第二，中國是否會加強碳權排放交易系統？ 從今年就可以看出，中國新建立的碳權交易市場能否幫助這個全球第二大經濟體減少排放量。金融機構Refinitiv的首席碳分析師秦炎表示，目前這套交易系統只涉及發電企業，涵蓋範圍還不夠廣；接下來，其他高排放行業也可能被納入其中。中國國務院也將公佈自己的監管規定，將帶來更大的執法權力。 中國排放交易系統的發展將產生全球性影響。秦炎指出，如果這套系統的設計明顯加強，且配額價格在未來幾年上升，碳排放成本將逐漸擴散至其他產業，從而推高中國製造品的生產成本。她補充說，中國可能會影響其他經濟體建立碳排放交易系統的方式。 第三，歐盟能源規則爭議將如何發展？ 歐盟已提議按照其「綠色分類法」(green taxonomy)投資規則，把天然氣和核能畫入環境可持續能源。但部分歐盟成員國對此持不同意見，暴露出歐盟內部在環境和能源政策方面的分歧。 「綠色分類法」的最終面貌將產生深遠影響，不僅將決定投資管理人可以把哪些資產列入綠色主題基金，還將進一步影響歐盟其他國家的政策走向，例如企業該怎發行綠色債券？需要符合什麼標準？以及可持續性產品的生態標籤(Ecolabel)認證問題。 第四，ISSB如何運作？ 在去年召開的聯合國氣候大會上，有許多可持續發展標準制定機構宣佈將攜手合作。人們普遍認為，這是將一系列不同的框架化繁為簡的一步。 按照這個新機制，新的國際可持續發展標準委員會(International Sustainability Standards Board, 簡稱ISSB)，將合併氣候披露標準委員會(Climate Disclosure Standards Board)和價值報告基金會(Value Reporting Foundation)。 關於ISSB，一個重要問題在於：吸收了這麼多組織之後如何統一指揮？特別是在評估企業的可持續性風險，這方面該怎麼劃分標準？這種方式如何與其他框架相契合，現在還不知道。 第五，聯合國會把生物多樣性列為新的氣候變化問題嗎？ 去年，各國領導人在格拉斯哥召開了《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》第26次會議(COP26)時，而另一場聯合國峰會--聯合國生物多樣性大會(COP15)，也同時舉行。會議的目標是制定一項全球計劃，減緩並扭轉對自然界的破壞。 這場聯合國會議可能透過建立一個單一的框架，加速達成目標。 展望2022年，世界上的綠色創新機制往往喜歡高調宣揚自己的成功，擁有氣候維持技術的企業，股價已開始飆升。其中最值得觀察的當然就是特斯拉，它的市值已經高達3850億美元，超過了排名其後的全球三大汽車製造商的市值總和。今年，中國的比亞迪市值也增長了兩倍之多。近期，清潔能源公司NextEra正式超越了ExxonMobile，成為美國市值最大的能源公司。在過去的四年，創業投資（VC）公司的交易增加了一倍以上。 如今，全球各地投入的相關資金仍然不足以支持創新。研發支出主要來自三個方面：創業投資、政府和各大能源公司。 未來，ESG將如何影響金融市場？ 認真觀察就會發現，以過去5年來說，全球企業的資本支出平均約4.8%，股市給予的報酬約12%。而科技股的資本支出約14%，股市給予的報酬約28%。 因此我認為：「No Capex，No Reward」，沒資本支出，就沒有之後報酬」 未來2年，預期全球資本支出都將追逐綠色轉型，目前觀察，在資本支出上四大產業將異軍突起，分別是： 能源轉型 : 資本支出約6.8% 半導體 : 資本支出約9.7% 電動車 : 資本支出約8.6% 元宇宙: 資本支出約11.8% 以上四大產業，是未來搭配ESG值得觀察的金融市場資金走向。 二、蘋果市值在1月3日盤中突破了3兆美元，巴菲特對其出乎意料的押注，可能將成為他最成功的投資之一，目前他的賬面收益超過1200億美元。我們怎麼從巴菲特身上看2022年的股票市場投資？ 國際媒體相關報導 ●Reuters路透社：〈Apple becomes first company to hit $3 trillion ma2022-01-1114 min
