Over the past two decades, the concept of responsible investing has gained currency among asset managers and the investor community across the globe. Responsible investing is an investment strategy that considers the environmental, social and governance (ESG) implications of an investment beyond the financial return; it is both a risk metric that needs to be assessed and mitigated, and an opportunity for value addition. The approach seeks to deliver long-term value to the investor while making a positive impact on the environment and society at large.
