The attention paid to, and importance placed on, environmental, social, and governance based factors in institutional asset owners portfolios, has grown an unstoppable rate in recent years. Growing numbers of institutional investors are intently looking at effective ways to increase asset allocations and develop robust risk management procedures, with ESG considerations at their very centre. Pushed by stakeholder pressures and regulatory scrutiny, pension and insurance investment leaders are grappling with effective ways to satisfy reporting requirements whilst meeting mandated set return targets.

The fourth annual Environmental, Social & Governance Investing, North America 2022 report brings together the views of senior investment offices from U.S. and Canadian based pension funds, insurers, endowment, and foundation funds, to share their insights and drive forward practical approaches to ESG integration within investment portfolios.
