Inrate proudly took part in a webinar organized by Forum Nachhaltige Geldanlagen (FNG) and Fondsfrauen, focused on a key question:
What role does gender data play in sustainable investment strategies?
Our Head of Client Relations, Alexandra Finkestein-Feller, contributed to the panel alongside experts from Columbia Threadneedle Investments and Erste Asset Management GmbH. The conversation highlighted both the opportunities and limitations in leveraging social data.
Key discussions:
The panel addressed disparities in data availability, the global landscape of gender diversity, and the power of engagement to drive meaningful change in ESG practices. While data on women in board positions is increasingly accessible, identifying gender equity across other levels of an organization still demands in-depth analysis and contextual understanding.
The speakers emphasized the need for:
- Context-driven insights beyond statistical averages
- Localized engagement for unreported or non-standardized data
- Long-term efforts like diversity workshops and mentoring programs to create lasting change
