The climate crisis and the increasing likelihood of related regulation are fuelling a growing appetite from financial institutions for information on the environmental and social credentials of their investments and clients, including data that will support a move to deforestation-free portfolios. But how to identify if a company or client is deforestation-free or working towards this goal? This Good Money Week session will ask how we fill the deforestation data gap, drawing on the work of a new partnership initiative to provide Aligned Accountability.

Responsible, sustainable investment is not a trend. Corporations that conduct business in a respectful and sustainable way are more likely to be successful and profitable over time which benefits both investors and society alike.

This session looks at how ESG can be seamlessly and effectively incorporated into today’s investment portfolios. We will examine how delivering on ESG commitments makes great business sense but adds another layer of complexity to funds.
