Sustainable and Responsible Investment

Environmental, social and governance considerations now affect capital allocation, disclosure obligations and the mandates institutional investors operate under. This course covers the practice. Delegates work through the main approaches from screening through integration to impact investment, the data and rating landscape and its well documented inconsistency, disclosure frameworks and the direction of mandatory reporting, green and sustainability linked instruments, and stewardship. Greenwashing is treated as a compliance risk with regulatory consequences, and the course covers assessing a claim rather than accepting a label.
