LONDON & CHICAGO (BUSINESS WIRE) May 6, 2021
Northern Trust Asset Management (NTAM), one of the world’s leading investment managers, has hired
Julie Moret as
global head of sustainable investing and stewardship to build on its legacy of creating long-term investment value for its clients through management of environmental, social and governance risks, effective engagement and proxy voting. In this newly created role, Moret will oversee the firm’s sustainable investing and global engagement policies, foster research and product development agendas, advance portfolio integration across asset classes and contribute NTAM’s perspectives to external industry associations.
Environmental, social and governance risks are both business and investment risks, and chartered accountants are at the heart of reporting on them as well as the financials.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks are being incorporated into management, as well as investment, decision-making - whether it s lending decisions, equity investing, green bonds, or anything else, says Neil Stewart, Director of Corporate Outreach at the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).
“Value creation, its preservation or erosion as a result of these ESG risks is now being quantified,” says Stewart, “and so too is corporate performance against these risks. This is what puts the accounting profession at the centre of this ESG world.”
