Last week, I had the great experience of moderating a panel on the evolving investor demand for ESG at IMpower Incorporating FundForum We had an engaging discussion on key trends and insights, including: 💡 The potential impact of regulations like the UK SDR on the fund landscape. 💡 Methods for selecting sustainability KPIs. 💡 Understanding the decisions and implications of exclusionary approaches. Some of the key takeaways from the discussion: 1️⃣ Don't expect many asset managers to change existing products to align with new labeling schemes. 2️⃣ The exclusionary approach you take has significant implications for selecting third-party managers. 3️⃣ Expect the market to continue focusing on products geared towards climate transition. Firms' engagement strategies will continue to play a major role in the success of this transition. Thank you to my panelists and Hortense Bioy, CFA, for kicking off with a great presentation on ESG fund flows and the evolving regulatory landscape. #fundforum #SustainableInvesting #morningstarindexes

Competition is great! 🚀 No, I did not become Gordon Gekko after 2 years in VC. But I believe that founders enjoy when we gamify their ESG journey. Last year, we launched our proprietary scoring system on ESG. Now, each company in our portfolio knows how they improved vs. the previous year, and how they compare to the rest of the portfolio. I believe founders like this system because: ➤ They strive to be the best at everything, including ESG ➤ They can clearly see their improvement with a single number ➤ They have a clear view of the best practices to implement for more points Of course, we explain all the other reasons to adopt these best practices and how they add value to their business. But it’s always more fun when it’s set up as a game! 🎲 Ps: we also love this game. It allows us to report an increase on our aggregated ESG scoring of +20%, as you can see below 📈

HR Intern at Croda India Company pvt. ltd.||MBA-PGDM (HR) || Coordinator - Student Placement Committee
Excited to have earned my Bloomberg ESG certificate, delving into the dynamic realm of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) trends.🌟 Understanding how fund managers navigate complex scoring systems and integrate ESG considerations into investment decisions is crucial. The course highlights the profound impact of shareholder activism on corporate behavior, emphasizing the need for constructive engagement over divestment. ESG regulation, measuring stewardship through the Triple Bottom Line, is reshaping capital allocation standards, making it a pivotal force in the financial industry. Ready to apply this knowledge and contribute to sustainable investment practices. #BloombergESG #ESGInvesting #SustainableFinance #Esgcertificate

We're starting to see a lot of articles like this talking about the downfall of ESG. But the headlines are misleading. What's really going on? *BAD* ESG is crumbling. And that's good! As the article reports: - Fund managers that slapped "sustainable" labels on existing funds to cash in are now turning away. - Investors who are in it for short-term gains are leaving because they aren't getting those short-term gains. - The industry is rightfully scared when they see the SEC fining companies for misleading ESG practices. So: relax. If you're a sustainable investor because you're concerned about the planet and are investing for the long term, there's nothing to see here. If you're invested with a fund manager that you trust and that is incorporating ESG factors into their analysis in a comprehensive way, they will keep doing that. This is nothing more than a much-needed course correction. Move on! #esg #esginvesting https://lnkd.in/egs99eyY
