Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations have moved from the sidelines to become front and centre for investors and their clients in recent years. Alongside the momentum created as governments and regulators have increasingly got on board with the sustainable agenda, there has been an exponential rise in the amount of data produced which aims to highlight the efficacy of ESG investing.
Join our training series where we cut through the noise and cover the key topics consultants and trustees need to be aware of.
