If 2020 was centred around raising the awareness of the benefits of investing responsibly, 2021 is an opportunity to evolve and embed ESG processes into business models inside and outside of the investment industry.

A key part of this is stewardship and fund manager engagement with corporates, which is explored in this issue’s cover feature by Natasha Turner and opinion piece from Sarasin & Partners, and also highlighted in the lead interview with Stephanie Butcher who provides an insight into Invesco UK’s approach.

This issue also features an exclusive comment from Extinction Rebellion co-founder who issues an urgent call for conversation with business leaders, and the Association of Investment Companies urges its members to share their ESG polices.

We also explore how ESG is being adopted in emerging markets and we also have our regular column from the United Nations and fund picks from Willis Owen’s Adrian Lowcock.
