Renewable infrastructure stocks under the sustainable investing ESG umbrella recorded a new 52-week high yesterday, on the back of rising carbon credit prices. Analysts maintain overweight ratings as municipal climate projects gain funding approval. (a) EU Taxonomy: On 10 September 2025, the Court of Justice of the European Union published a press release announcing the General Court of the European Union’s decision to dismiss an action brought by Austria seeking the annulment of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1214 (Austria v Commission, Case T-625/22). The General Court held that the European Commission was entitled to take the view that certain economic activities in the nuclear energy and fossil gas sectors can, under certain conditions, contribute substantially to climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation. The Commission was therefore not exceeding its powers as properly conferred to it by the EU legislature by including nuclear energy and fossil gas in the sustainable investment scheme. First-half inflows to sustainable funds totaled $16 billion, as assets added in the second quarter more than offset small outflows in the first three months of the year. However, this is tracking below prior years’ and traditional funds continue to see stronger inflows. ESG-focused automakers jumped 4.1% on announcements of carbon-neutral supply chain shifts. Market commentary links this to broader sustainable investing ESG investor appetite for progressive industrial policies.
