Although demand for consideration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in the investment process has grown dramatically, there remains a dearth of clear standards and definitions, as well as consistent data. A recent SS&C Intralinks program brought together a group of asset managers and industry professionals to discuss how the ESG arena is evolving, including the fitful moves toward standardization and the challenges associated with ESG disclosure. The program was hosted and moderated by Joe Cuillinane, sales executive at SS&C Intralinks. This article discusses the key takeaways from the program. See “Morgan Lewis Attorneys Discuss the Global ESG Landscape” (Aug. 19, 2021); as well as our two-part coverage of IOSCO’s ESG consultation report: “Risk of Greenwashing and Regulatory Approaches” (Aug. 5, 2021); and “Investor Education, Impediments and Recommendations” (Aug. 19, 2021).
