The World Will Not Wait: The Time for ESG Is Now

Integrating ESG into every investment decision is no longer optional: it’s non-negotiable

With non-stop regulatory progress bolstered by a global push towards unified reporting standards, the world has set the agenda – now it’s up to the financial community to deliver it.

As experience has taught us, investors can meet this challenge by meaningfully engaging with stakeholders; hearing and responding to the needs of shareholders; and working collaboratively to identify and improve upon industry-wide issues with data, clarity, transparency, and accountability.

With AuM in EU-domiciled ESG Mutual Funds predicted to hit €7.6tn by 2025, the opportunities available to those who rise to the challenge are unmatched.

At Reuters Events: ESG Investment Europe 2022, join 300+ industry executives from every corner of the ESG ecosystem to find out how the financial community can balance the needs of a world in crisis with their fiduciary responsibilities.
