Sustainable investing: a pension fund asset manager case

IMD Professor Vanina Farber invites and Gert Dijkstra, Senior Managing Director of APG Asset Management to explore how a pension fund asset manager makes investment decisions based on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.  Pension funds around the world are grappling with how to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into their investment allocations without sacrificing financial returns. The conversation dives deep into the nuances of sustainable finance, where investment strategies may exclude certain industries or companies that violate specific norms or regulations. Alternatively, integrative approaches still are increasingly taken up by investors, adding weight to companies that do well at including ESG factors into their business models.    Professor Vanina Farber and Gert Dijkstra discuss this in the case of APG Asset Management, which has more than €540 billion in assets currently under management.   Full article: https://www.imd.org/research-knowledg... #IMDImpact #SocialInnovation #VaninaFarber
