JOHANNESBURG - Huge flows of money into investment funds labeled environmentally friendly will make it more costly for some companies to access capital, BlackRock’s top mining sector investor said on Thursday. Environmental, social, and governance concerns have become a buzzword in the financial sector and investment products labeled ESG have multiplied, sucking up billions of dollars and putting pressure on sectors considered “dirty” such as oil and mining.

“The weight of money flowing into products in this area, whether they are active or passive, will shift the cost of capital for companies,” said Evy Hambro, who manages the BlackRock World Mining investment trust , addressing the Joburg Indaba mining conference from London. “It’s only recently that we’ve been asked by clients in almost every encounter with them what we’re doing on ESG,” Hambro said.
