» Private equity and venture investors in Southeast Asia are betting on something new -- sustainability. Bain research shows a significant increase in capital flowing to companies that contribute to environmental and social progress. Just 10 years ago, most large investors in Southeast Asia targeted primary industries such as oil and gas, mining and agricultural commodities. Today, investors are piling into renewable energy projects, financial platforms that provide access to capital for microbusinesses, and for-profit hospital networks that offer underserved populations better access to healthcare.
