“One of the Latin American countries with the most to gain from the sustainable investment boom is Ecuador, which we feature in this issue’s special report. Despite being one of the region’s smaller countries, Ecuador has an outsized appeal for sustainable investors. Its unique combination of the Amazon, Andes, Galapagos Islands and Pacific Ocean makes it one of the most biodiverse places on the planet.
Meanwhile its untapped copper reserves, which some geologists believe could be the third largest in the world, are essential to the global energy transition.

In short, ESG investors can have more environmental and social impact in Ecuador than they will get in Europe”
