With 83% of consumers stating that they believe companies should be actively shaping ESG best practices (according to PwC), it's clear that the demand for sustainable and ethical investment practices has far outgrown the financial world.
But questions remain around how asset owners can keep up with this societal sea change, and how they can communicate their growing set of priorities to invested companies to ensure active engagement is an effective enough risk management strategy to satisfy consumers in the long term.
As Reuters reflects on the insights shared in our recent Active Ownership Webinar (hosted on 12th May 2022), we've seen a need to deepen our focus on the asset owner perspective, continuing the conversation with an Exclusive Release of our Keynote Panel: ESG Origination - Why Asset Owners Demand ESG.
