🌍 AABsolutely dedicated to helping businesses build sustainable futures 🌍 At AAB, we recognise business moves at pace, and opportunities and challenges are always subject to change through a variety of market factors and forces. Developing industry leading offerings to help our clients navigate their ever-changing landscape and deliver purposeful growth today and as their business evolves is mission critical and today, we are thrilled to officially launch our ESG service offering! Our ESG services are specifically designed to help businesses of all sizes incorporate sustainability principles into their operations. With ESG reporting soon to be mandated in both the UK and EU, it's more important than ever for companies to prioritise their environmental, social, and governance responsibilities. Whether you're a start-up or a large corporation, our ESG team can provide you with the tools and guidance needed to navigate the changing landscape of sustainability reporting. Compliance is key, but building and executing an effective sustainability strategy can present opportunities for competitive advantage too. ESG Partner Alasdair Green, commented: “In today's rapidly changing business landscape, ESG factors are becoming increasingly important considerations for investors, regulators, and consumers. It has been consistently highlighted that companies performing strongly across all three factors of ESG have been shown to be more profitable, with one study finding up to 6 times more. These businesses not only mitigate risk, but also stand to gain a competitive edge by fostering long-term resilience and value creation.” Hear more about ESG and from ESG Director Aveen McShane here: https://lnkd.in/eHskSr2f Rachel Elena Post John Beevers Julie Arbuthnott Marc Vosilius Graeme Robertson #ESG #Sustainability

Is ESG dead? As sustainability professionals know all too well, its relevancy continues to be actively debated in the industry and beyond. This is why we commissioned our Professional Investor DNA Survey, in conjunction with Crisil Coalition Greenwich, to explore thoughts towards ESG of over 120 institutional investors and intermediary distributors across Europe and Asia. Key findings include: ➡️ Over half of investors still consider environmental, social and governance factors as highly important when it comes to portfolio asset allocation ➡️ Difficulty measuring impact is seen as the biggest barrier to further adoption of sustainable investing ➡️ Jury out on best ways to drive positive change, with impact investing, exclusionary screening, individual company engagement and government policy & regulation among top listed At Fidelity International, we continue to believe that ESG has a role to play in our investment portfolios. Last year, we revised our sustainable investing framework to facilitate transparent and measurable integration. This year, we will continue to contribute to key regulatory developments at both a global and local level and internally, we are in the process of enhancing our engagement framework to better measure the depth and quality of our engagements against specific objectives over time.   The full survey results are available in our press release (link below in my comments) or feel free to reach out to the team to find out more.   #sustainableinvesting #ProfessionalInvestorDNA

Thoughts on ESG from institutional investors and intermediary distributors across Europe and Asia #esg #investments #europe #asia Jenn-Hui Tan Fidelity International Crisil Coalition Greenwich

intelligent, non-ideological investors who respect their customers, who understand #fiduciaryduty and do not abdicate responsibility, who seek to deliver excellent risk-adjusted returns, and who eschew culture wars as irrelevant to prudent exercise of their trade, will 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 consider #ESG data, where it adds value about risk and opportunity to portfolio construction and asset selection. #ESG "will never be dead, it will just be confined to its originally intended use as SASB defined it." recently said Jeff Gitterman. and he added: there is no such thing as "ESG Investing". indeed. investment leaders like Jenn-Hui Tan at Fidelity International and others know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. and they are holding 'em, while always seeking to review, revise, innovate and learn. it's not any more complicated than this.
