Sustainable Investing In Practice

Sustainable Investing in Practice provides a pragmatic steer for how finance professionals can make the realities of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing work for them in practice.

The book delivers a balanced overview, covering topics such as ESG ratings, data and disclosure and multi-asset portfolios. It neither blindly praises or criticises activities, but rather explains the incentives and compromises that have occurred to reach the current point, reviewing both successes and failures in sustainable investing. By offering a realistic account of what is working and what is not, readers of this book will be given a unique and deep insight into the current environment and a suite of thought-provoking ideas they may carry forward in their own careers.

Sustainable Investing in Practice features practical examples and interviews in each chapter, from expert commentators such as Paul Polman KBE, Richard Curtis OBE, and Gillian Tett. It provides useful ideas and plans for how to take sustainable finance forward while balancing credibility and commerciality in equal measure. This is a must-read for every finance professional, investor and regulator-whether they are seeking to fast track their careers, bring commercial and sustainable learning to their organization, or upgrade their understanding of this crucial but complex topic.
