IRFA ESG SESSION 1 - ESG Ratings as Part of Decision Tool

The webinar forms part of a series where discussions are held to allow trustees and other decision makers in the retirement sector to better understand ESG principles.

There has been an increased attention given to Environmental, Social and Governance rating by investors and other stakeholders. This has been further intensified by the current economic instability, social injustice and public health issues and crisis experienced globally in the most recent years.
In today’s webinar, we will be discussing ESG ratings and their implications on investors? Focusing on existing ESG ratings, investors can reposition their investment portfolios to benefit from the positive ESG movement and potentially help improve company performance through the adoption of various ESG practices.
