INTEGRATING ESG CONSIDERATIONS INTO ALTERNATIVES

INTEGRATING ESG CONSIDERATIONS INTO ALTERNATIVES

Thursday 1 July, 3:00pm

AIFs can contribute to the financing and sustainable growth of the strategic asset classes of our economy. Some of the most frequent investment strategies are naturally aligned with sustainable investment principles, both for the type of strategy they pursue and for the due diligence they apply to the underlying assets: SME financing, green infrastructure, new technologies, and more in general all the so called real assets. A systematic and informed approach to identifying and managing ESG factors protects against risks and can significantly increase long-term value. The panel aims to illustrate the role played by ESG aspects in the alternative investment strategies and the type of engagement implemented in order to create awareness across small caps and private players.
