ESG in liquidity
Integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into the investment management process has evolved with the market’s recognition of how an institution’s long-term strategic focus on corporate sustainability can enhance its risk-return profile. Lessons learned from the recent past also underline the importance of identifying and avoiding risky corporate management structures and/or ill-focused strategic priorities.
