Nachhaltigkeitsinvestments

German to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities
Der Klimawandel führt zu einer Neubewertung von Unternehmen und ganzen Branchen. Damit hat er einen Einfluss auf das Asset Management, der weit über spezielle **„Nachhaltigkeitsinvestments“** hinausgeht.

Und später im Text: Die Investmentbranche reagiert mit einer breiten Palette so genannter **„Nachhaltigkeitsinvestments“**. Auch institutionelle Investoren führen zunehmend bei traditionellen Investments Nachhaltigkeitskriterien ein. Doch wie nachhaltig ist die Investmentstory „Nachhaltigkeit“ selbst?

Sind damit 'investments in renewable resources' gemeint? Wenn ja, kann man 'renewables investments' sagen?

sustainable investment(s)

"Sustainable investment" is a really big issue at the moment, and of course a rapidly growing business opportunity for institutions and other financial service providers, who now offer a fast-growing range of sustainable investments that meet a range of eco-friendly criteria. Corporates, too, are increasingly applying sustainability criteria to their own capex programmes, accompanied by the publication of sustainability reports. Luckily for us, sustainability is also a growing source of translation work, too!

Here's Credit Suisse. The English is definitely a translation, but not too bad at all.

Nachhaltige Anlagen
Die Credit Suisse entwickelt ihr Dienstleistungsangebot ständig weiter, um ihren Kunden den bestmöglichen Service und massgeschneiderte Produkte zu bieten. Mit einer stärkeren Berücksichtigung von Nachhaltigkeitsaspekten tragen die einzelnen Geschäftseinheiten dabei dem wachsenden Bedürfnis der Kunden nach Produkten mit Umwelt- und Sozialnutzen Rechnung.

Das Investitionsvolumen in nachhaltige Anlagen ist in den letzten Jahren stetig gewachsen. Allein die Mittelzuflüsse von institutionellen Investoren und neue gesetzliche Offenlegungspflichten zur Anlagepolitik von Pensionskassen sprechen hier eine deutliche Sprache.

Die Credit Suisse bietet ihren Kunden bereits seit mehreren Jahren nachhaltig ausgerichtete Anlagelösungen an und hat ihre Produktpalette in diesem Bereich laufend ausgebaut. Sie reicht heute von Anlagefonds und -zertifikaten bis hin zu Mikrofinanz-Produkten. Neben diesen nachhaltig orientierten Produkten bietet die Credit Suisse ihren Kundinnen und Kunden auch die Möglichkeit, in ihrem Portfolio individuell ökologische und ethische Kriterien zu berücksichtigen.

Sustainable Investments
Credit Suisse continuously develops its range of offerings to provide clients with customized products and the best possible service. Its individual businesses are placing an increasing focus on sustainability issues in order to respond to the growing client need for products offering environmental and social benefits.

Sustainable investments have constantly grown in volume over recent years. The inflow of funds from institutional investors and the new legal requirements regarding the disclosure of pension fund investment policies clearly reflect this trend.

Credit Suisse has been offering clients sustainability-oriented investment solutions for several years and has continuously expanded its selection of products in this area. This now ranges from investment funds and certificates to microfinance products. In addition to these sustainability-oriented products, Credit Suisse also offers its clients the opportunity to apply individual environmental and ethical criteria to their portfolios

They have an English website too, but the translation could do with some improvement. But you should get the general picture:
http://www.sustainable-investment.org/

Otherwise, just take your pick from tens of thousands of Google references to "sustainable investment(s)", some of them even written in high-quality English :-)

self-sustaining investments

i.e., you invest once, the return on it is perpetual.

Note from asker:
The entire article deals with the economic impact of climate change on businesses and investment companies. I'm not sure if self-sustaining investments is what is meant in this context.
