In this episode of the Green Dream, the video series where ESG Clarity interviews key figureheads in the responsible investment world to get their views on the latest trends, news and movements in this evolving landscape, ESG Clarity editor Natalie Kenway speaks to Lisa Beauvilain, head of sustainability & ESG at Impax.
In this Q&A, Beauvilain discusses how ESG is integrated across Impax products and the themes investors can access through these solutions.
She also explains how Covid-19 has impacted the funds and company engagement, as well as the awareness around the resilience of sustainable businesses. She warns we could face further market shocks related to climate change, deforestation or the effectiveness of antibiotics and it is important to back sustainable businesses that are more likely to withstand this volatility.
Beauvilain also explores what the implementation of the EU Taxonomy will mean for reporting and disclosure.
