35 CLOSING THOUGHTS ESG information is becoming mainstream for investors Investors are finding value in ESG information as the demand for sustainable and responsible investment products grows. ESG performance contributes intangible company value Many ESG factors may have financial implications, but most are difficult to quantify. The investment industry is working to link valuation to ESG factors. ESG factors have to be understood at the level of the industry New initiatives and mainstream investor adoption is driving a focus on what is relevant depending on business fundamentals. Environmental insights and impacts are at peer, portfolio, systems level Whatever the sustainability evaluation, these factors must be understood across asset classes at multiple levels, especially relative to global goals. The future will see unprecedented transparency and analytical sophistication Investors are becoming more sophisticated and more demanding of the type, quality and granularity of information on environmental risks and opportunities.
