Is COVID-19 Affecting ESG Integration?
A Canadian Investor Perspective
The COVID-19 crisis has impacted every industry of our economy, but what will be the effects on ESG, Responsible Investment and Sustainable Finance? Given the substantial shifts in global capital markets over recent months, we set out to understand if and how the sentiment or approach of our country’s largest investors had been adapted.
From April 20th to April 30th, 2020, Millani conducted in-depth interviews with more than 20 Canadian institutional investors, representing $2.3 trillion of assets under management, to gather their views on what the crisis may mean for ESG, and what their expectations are towards corporate issuers.
This report provides the Canadian investor perspective and related implications for financial stakeholders, management teams and corporate issuers, namely on the potential cost and ability to access capital.
