Sustainability Statement

"We can’t save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed. Everything needs to change – and it has to start today. " - Greta Thunberg

Around the world, we can see with that floods ravish the lands, heatwaves and forest fires destroy communities, and other extreme weather events occur more frequently and more violently than ever before.  The pandemic was the final wake up call the world needed to take decisive steps in tackling this looming world problem.  Despite the opportunities, we are not acting fast enough. Countries need to collaborate in the common goal and commit to clear actions to follow and targets to achieve. 

The finance sectors have a responsibility to commit their actions to playing their part in ensuring a sustainable future.  We must divert funds and fuel the those who are committed to change. 

What we believe at JS Wealth

Standard ESG metrics often fail to address the specific nuances and deeply held convictions of entrepreneurial families. At JS Wealth, we look beyond generic rating systems to engineer authentic, impactful solutions.

True impact begins with a family’s distinct vision for the future. Whether your focus centres on climate resilience, systemic poverty alleviation, circular economy infrastructure, or advancing global equity, we design bespoke investment mandates that align your capital precisely with your values. We bridge the gap between financial performance and measurable, real-world transformation for the generations to come.

We actively welcome collaborative sustainability initiatives and joint capital project partnerships with aligned co-investors worldwide.

COP

For nearly three decades,  the UN has been bringing together almost every country on earth for global climate summits – called COPs – which stands for ‘Conference of the Parties’. In that time climate change has gone from being a fringe issue to a global priority.  

Mobilise Finance

To achieve our climate goals, every company, every financial firm, every bank, insurer and investor will need to change. 

Countries need to manage the increasing impacts of climate change on their citizens’ lives and they need the funding to do it.
The scale and speed of the changes we need to make will require all forms of finance: 

1. Public finance for the development of infrastructure we need to transition to a greener and more climate-resilient economy.
2. Private finance to fund technology and innovation, and to help turn the billions of public money into trillions of total climate investment.

COP Goals  

1. Secure global net zero by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach

Countries are being asked to come forward with ambitious 2030 emissions reductions targets that align with reaching net zero by the middle of the century.

To deliver on these stretching targets, countries will need to:

• accelerate the phase-out of coal
• curtail deforestation
• speed up the switch to electric vehicles
• encourage investment in renewables.

2. Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats

The climate is already changing and it will continue to change even as we reduce emissions, with devastating effects.

At COP26 we need to work together to enable and encourage countries affected by climate change to:

• protect and restore ecosystems
• build defences, warning systems and resilient infrastructure and agriculture to avoid loss of homes, livelihoods and even lives

3. Mobilise finance

To deliver on our first two goals, developed countries must make good on their promise to mobilise at least $100bn in climate finance per year by 2020. 

International financial institutions must play their part and we need work towards unleashing the trillions in private and public sector finance required to secure global net zero.

4. Work together to deliver

We can only rise to the challenges of the climate crisis by working together.

At COP26 we must:

• finalise the Paris Rulebook (the detailed rules that make the Paris Agreement operational)
• accelerate action to tackle the climate crisis through collaboration between governments, businesses and civil society.

UNSDG

The United Nations has named 17 Sustainble Developement Goals for UN member states to to adopt and provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for the people and the planet. They recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. 

JS Wealth

At JS Wealth, our investment philosophy is guided by a dual mandate championing both immediate performance and generational longevity. As our founder, Jason Yau, emphasises: "True wealth stewardship requires a dual perspective - navigating the complexities of today's markets while fiercely safeguarding the landscape of tomorrow."

We view sustainability not as a fleeting trend or a passive box-ticking exercise, but as a structural reality deeply intertwined with future asset valuations. By embedding long-term sustainability directly into our core investment framework, we ensure that the capital we manage today actively preserves the world we pass on to the next generation. This signifies a definitive shift toward forward-thinking wealth preservation.
