The online report where institutional investors explore environmental, social and governance issues surrounding their investment decisions and policies.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues can affect the performance of investment portfolios to varying degrees across companies, sectors, regions and asset classes and are playing an increasingly important role as investors see that a company’s ethical and social responsibilities can create ‘alpha’ over the long-term. ESG issues can also apply to emerging markets where assessing the environmental, social and governance factors of local governments and institutions can aid investors to make sound investment decisions.
Environmental, Social and Governance Investing is the first report of its kind written primarily from the buy-side perspective in which institutional investors, governmental bodies and academics address current topics surrounding ESG.
Examining the subject from both a practical and theoretical angle, the report will investigate the key issues of:
- Examining the link between ESG and profitability
- The value of ESG guidelines, principles and ratings
- A global perspective on the financial industry’s move into responsible investment
- Re-thinking institutional investors’ potential for ESG impact
- Exploring the myriad of ethical investment fund options
- Is adherence to ESG principles simply good PR, a genuine paradigm shift, or both?
As the first comprehensive report written by end-users, this is a unique opportunity for industry thought leaders to showcase their expertise, create new ideas in the minds of their prospective clients and share insight on future trends and opportunities within ESG investing.
Key providers this report is suitable for include:
- Heads of Investment Research
- Head of Investment
- Chief Investment Officer
- Asset allocation
- Pension fund manager
