Session Spotlight | Sustainable Investment in Emerging Markets: Action in China
Managing environmental and social (E&S) risks by investors in emerging markets is undeniably a challenge. Compared with developed countries, emerging markets have relatively primitive E&S legal frameworks, a low level of awareness about important E&S issues, and limited professionals with E&S management skills. However, according to research for the World Bank Group, investments by emerging markets equities managers that are run according to broad sustainability criteria have reached more than US$300 billion annually—nearly 10 percent of total equity investment in emerging markets. How do these investors view E&S in emerging markets, and how are investees identified? What are their E&S criteria when evaluating and holding investments in emerging markets, and how are E&S risks and opportunities measured? This one-hour conversation will feature prestigious investors sharing their investment practices and cases in China. Register now
