The focus on ESG issues by investors has seen rapid growth over recent years. Companies are facing increased scrutiny and engagement from investors for companies to do more across all 3 ESG pillars. As investors continue to increase their expectations around board oversight, they expect directors to have the relevant skills and ability to articulate the company’s unique ESG story.
In this session we will look at what is driving this growing interest in ESG from investors, how portfolio managers are considering ESG factors and incorporating them into investment decisions, and finally the influential role that ESG research providers play in this process.
With better awareness in this area, it will provide board directors with a foundational understanding of what role ESG factors are playing in how their investors are making investment decisions – which can in turn contribute towards a more effective integration of ESG into the company’s overall strategy.
