Moreover, the continuously set fires (main cause of deforestation) are worsening the situation linked to <em>climate change<\/em> causing emissions that, based on some studies, risk exceeding that of the entire American economy, thus placing Indonesia among the worst coal polluters of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>In this critical situation, Etica Sgr has decided to support the initiative proposed by <strong>Green Century Capital Management<\/strong> (Asset management company that has handled sustainable investments since 1991) which, together with the <em>PRI Palm Oil Advisory Committee, <\/em>wants to show support to the Indonesian government in the fight against deforestation and to ask the administration to support all the local companies that, despite many risks, have managed to obtain recognition form the market for their commitment and their policies against deforestation.<\/p>\n<p>Etica Sgr has supported the initiative by sending its adhesion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>This is a marketing communication.<\/strong> The data and information contained herein are provided for information purposes only and do not constitute investment recommendations.
