The phenomenon of greenwashing has no doubt caused concern among investors, leading some to hesitate in their investment decisions. However, according to advisors, the key to navigating this issue lies in helping clients develop a deeper understanding of their values and priorities. By facilitating conversations that delve into what truly matters to clients, advisors can guide them toward investments that align with their ethical, environmental, and social considerations. This approach goes beyond surface-level claims of sustainability and ensures that clients make informed decisions that resonate with their personal beliefs and goals.

The demand for ESG-aligned #investments is expected to represent half of all professionally managed #assets globally by this year, indicating a significant shift in investor priorities and corporate governance practices.

Our London Managing Director Mustafa Hussain joined a panel of experts to speak at Farrer & Co’s ESG investing themed trustee seminar yesterday – here are some key take-aways from his presentation:   🌱 Past legacy and future legacy are diverging, with increasing focus on emotions and responsibilities to causes bigger than ourselves. 🌱 This evolution can cause tension among families, but there is a way to both ‘do well and do good’ by carefully navigating and understanding a client’s mission and motivations. 🌱 There are practical ways to help determine who to partner with, in the form of sustainable frameworks that businesses follow, and certifications and assessments they can participate in to demonstrate their commitment to ESG principles.   🌱 Redefine your success – it can be measured in more ways than purely in financial terms and ESG investing can have a very tangible impact on making the world a better place.   Some interesting perspectives were also shared by Mustafa’s fellow panellists Giles Richardson KC (Serle Court), Dylan Samuel (Lombard Odier Group), Tom McPhail (Farrer & Co), Georgina James (Farrer & Co), chaired by Jennifer Ridgway (Farrer & Co), around how trustee investment duties interact with requests for ESG or impact investing.   #Trust #SustainableInvestment #ESGinvesting #DrivenByVision
