2nd Annual Climate and ESG Asset Owner Summit 2019 | CFA Institute | 23 September 2019 | CFA Society of New York, 1540 Broadway #1010, New York, NY 10036, USA

The systematic integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment strategies, and investment decision making across asset classes, has exploded. Asset owners around the world were early adopters of sustainable investment commitments, taking leadership roles—in their capacity as fiduciaries—to advocate for the achievement of long term, sustainable, risk-adjusted returns, consistent with their fiduciary duty.
