Responsible investment is a strategy and practice to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions and active ownership. Expertise in this is area is no longer optional, It is essential – to reduce risk and enhance returns, to create sustainable financial markets and to contribute to a more prosperous world for all.

In a rapidly evolving and competitive investment landscape, industry professionals who lack the skills to invest responsibly, or who choose to ignore the materiality of ESG factors in investing, are at a disadvantage.
