Driven both by increasing regulatory or compliance obligations and growing market demand from investors, ESG is moving from a niche activity to a mainstream solution for asset managers. Our global network has been drawing on their expert subject knowledge to assist asset managers across the world in all areas of their ESG strategy.
You may be focused on strategy development, implementation, due diligence, monitoring and assessment, or managing increasing reporting demands. Our multidisciplinary team has in-depth knowledge and expertise to help you navigate the risks and opportunities in this quickly evolving area.
