Webinar

Private markets’ intrinsic, and increasing, proclivity towards active asset management has long made them a favourable arena for ESG investing. At the same time, the regulatory inconsistency, economic turbulence and political scrutiny that have tested the evolution of ESG as a paradigm have served to repeatedly derail this alignment of incentives. Over time, a clear dichotomy has emerged between what ESG teams within private markets want to achieve and what takes up most of their time – impacting progress towards sustainable investing.

• Data collection, measurement and other operational burdens on ESG teams .
• Understanding the regulatory landscape and shifts therein.
• Points of difference across asset classes and regions.
• Roadmaps for progress towards a more value-driven ESG paradigm.
