Description
Until a few years ago few professional investors chose “socially responsible investments” when seeking destinations for assets under management. These investors might, for ethical reasons, have avoided so-called “sin stocks” such as investments in gambling, tobacco or alcohol. However, analysis in the early part of the 21st century showed that in fact there was a direct link between financial performance and a wider set of sustainability-related factors and the initiative “Principles for Responsible Investment” was launched in 2006. PRI’s role is to promote Environmental, Social and Governance criteria as an aid to investment selection and management. This has made ESG investing increasingly popular. This training workshop examines the growth of ESG in the field of investment, and is a useful bridge to other workshops we run on Corporate Governance and Sustainability.
