Investors globally are embracing ESG but what does this involve and can ESG be measured? Louise Dudley, Global Equity Portfolio Manager at Federated Hermes, International will outline the taxonomy often used when talking about ESG (exclusion, screening, engagement, sustainable, impact, responsible investing), talk about the importance of stewardship and engagement, and showcase evidence to the question as to whether ESG adds value or not. As an active equity manager, Louise will provide examples of how certain aspects of ESG, such as climate change, have affected investment decision making both positively and negatively.
