For corporate governance teams, the proliferation of socially responsible investment asset managers presents both risks and opportunities. Ignore their expectations and you might expect not only a higher cost of capital but also a slew of unwelcome consequences on the proxy front.
In the latest episode of the Governance Matters podcast, we catch up with Martin Jarzebowski, director of ESG and responsible investing at Federated Hermes, about his firm’s approach to integrating ESG and stewardship into investment decision-making.
In the second part of the podcast, Brigid Rosati, managing director for business development and corporate strategy at Computershare Georgeson, gives us a rundown on some of the top trends from this year’s proxy season and emerging issues ahead of next year.
The Governance Matters podcast provides listeners with insight into the cutting-edge issues of the day for corporate secretaries, general counsel and all governance professionals.
