Interest from asset owners in environment, social, and governance (ESG) related investing has continued to increase over the last year, with new records of allocation being hit yet again in 2022. However, alongside this interest, ESG investing as a discipline has faced increasing questions and scrutiny from regulators, investors, and even major media around its performance merits, its ability to produce measurable societal impact, and a perception of greenwashing – that is, calling something ESG when it’s not.

In this session, Mark will address the way that each of these sets of stakeholders are viewing ESG – with a particular focus on regulators, present recommended frameworks that the industry as a whole can utilize to address this scrutiny and conclude with remarks about what to expect in the next leg of growth in the industry.
