There’s little doubt that both responsible investment (RI) and the use of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data have been growing in recent years.
The Responsible Investment Association’s (RIA) latest surveys, for example, show that RI assets in Canada increased from $2.1 trillion in 2017 to more than $3 trillion in 2019.
