Summary
Environmental, social and governance factors are becoming a higher priority for governments, regulators and savers alike. Investors have a range of strategies they can deploy, ranging from ESG integration, whereby ESG factors are considered alongside traditional metrics in the investment process, to impact investing, in which a specific sustainable outcome is at the heart of the investment process. At a minimum, understanding how ESG-related preferences and policies are changing is necessary to mitigate investment risk. However, savers are, increasingly, seeking more than financial returns—they also want to be a force for change.
