PRI Academy provided me with a strong base of intelligence with which to evaluate ESG factors. Not only can these factors directly impact the value of an investment, but they can have direct impacts on our quality of life. As investing becomes more global and our knowledge base expands dramatically, every investor needs to consider these important factors.
