Description:
This ViewPoint sets out our views on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues from the perspective of a fiduciary investor acting on behalf of asset owners. We define different ways that investors can integrate ESG factors in the investment process, outline our views on how ESG factors contribute to long-term value, and describe the current landscape of ESG disclosure initiatives across organizations and regulatory bodies. There are a number of challenges associated with assembling and evaluating ESG information. To address these challenges, we provide recommendations for policy makers to establish a framework that enables stakeholders and market participants to develop detailed ESG standards and best-practice guidelines.
