Making investment decisions that include environmental, social, and governance factors has been a trend for years. While capital committed to ESG assets continues to grow, fund managers and investors still struggle with the intangible—how do you effectively price and measure impact? As the market matures, sophisticated ESG investors are requesting more robust data than simple negative screening to complete their analysis. Panelists will discuss what is needed to arrive at agreed on definitions and debate what metrics investors need to make investment decisions. Is the market close to being able to standardize and incorporate ESG metrics into company reports?
