Kelly Perry, Head of ESG Client Services, Edison Group said: “ESG is the fastest growing area of Capital Markets, with ESG funds on track to hold more assets under management than their non-ESG counterparts by 2025. Rapidly becoming one of the most important factors for companies when engaging with investors.”
“As scrutiny around ESG shows no sign of slowing, financial market participants will continue to hold sustainability at the centre of their decision making,” Perry added.
