🌏 Investing for impact: greenwashing, ESG filters & company engagement

Australian Finance Podcast

In a world of greenwashing, corporate scandals and ethical quagmires, how do you invest inline with your values?

To make some sense of all this, Kate & Owen chat to chat to Emilie O’Neill, Co-Head of ESG and Equities Analyst at Perennial Partners.

We discuss the ESG investment universe, whether ESG investing adds or detracts from your investment returns, the difference between active and passive ESG investing, how to understand a companies ESG practices and ways for investors to actively engage with listed companies.
