What's ESG investing got to do with ethics?

The use of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data is changing the way that capital markets operate, offering the prospect of business that’s better for people and planet. So does this make room for ethics in investment decision-making?

Annabel Gillard, an experienced industry professional and member of the IBE’s International Advisory Council, interviewed leading players in the UK investment industry to see what they thought. As Annabel's findings show, although asset managers prefer not to talk about ethics per se, many of the things that they are concerned about, such as investee companies' culture and behaviour, are ethically significant.

The Compliance Institute's CPD Programme is designed specially to support the compliance professional in developing the skills and competences required to perform their role and is also a requirement to maintain your Compliance Institute designation.
