Pensions and ESG

What’s happening? Currently $100 trillion in assets under management are committed to  Principles for Responsible Investment. Most are focused on the US, UK, Nordics, Germany and France. And, now Japan is being asked to step up.

Why is this important? More and more assets are adopting or leaning into ESG.

How will this be important? The new economy is a stakeholder economy that puts sustainability, how businesses treat their stakeholders and employees, and how businesses treat their community.
