On October 12, 2017 Nikkei Asian Review published an interview about the latest trends in ESG with Linda-Eling Lee, global head of ESG research at MSCI. According to Ms. Lee, “those criteria matter a lot when investing in companies in emerging markets as ‘higher-rated ESG companies do tend to be demonstrating stronger risk management.’”
The article covers a range of issues, including: the historical development of ESG issues in the investment world, ESG at Asian companies, ESG performance; and greenwashing.
