Happy Earth Day! How Asset Managers Can Drive Sustainability Through ESG Investing

Today, on Earth Day, let’s talk about how Asset Management can be a powerful force for good. Sustainable and ESG-focused investing is no longer a niche strategy – it’s becoming mainstream.

Here’s why:

• Environmental risks are financial risks. Climate change, resource scarcity, and pollution can significantly impact a company’s bottom line. ESG due diligence helps us identify and mitigate these risks.
• Investors are demanding action. Millennials and Gen Z, who control a growing share of investable assets, prioritize sustainability. Strong ESG practices are becoming a competitive advantage.
• Proxy voting is a powerful tool. Asset managers can use their voting rights to push companies towards better environmental and social practices. Imagine voting for board members with a strong sustainability track record!
