The way institutional investors integrate ESG information into voting decisions has fundamentally shifted over the past few years. In 2021 and 2022 we have seen institutional investors rapidly sharpening their focus on everything from climate risk to gender diversity while companies scramble to adapt to evolving ESG requirements.
To help listed companies gain a clearer picture of investor ESG focus, Georgeson interviewed 20 global institutional investors representing $30.5 trillion AUM in the UK, Europe and US about key ESG topics including climate escalation, social escalation, ESG metrics and investor initiatives. In this webinar, you’ll hear directly from investors including Vanguard, Robeco Asset Management and Invesco about their views on emerging trends and expectations moving forward.
