When did ethical and sustainable investment strategy become a serious consideration for shareholders, investors and asset managers? Global investment focus of shareholders, investors, and investment managers is shifting. We are currently seeing the transfer of wealth to millennials, environmental disasters, costs and risks increasing, and improved performance of operations through sustainable practices. ESG incorporates a wide range of impacts on the risk and return values of an investment. These issues may be surrounding regulation changes, business ethics, or direct impacts on financial, operational, strategic or reputational risks. Environmental: natural resources, waste, climate change, pollution, and clean technology. Social: health and safety, local community, human rights, and human resources. Governance: compliance, regulation, reporting, conflict of interest in employee, shareholder or board levels. The Australian market has typically struggled when coming to terms with how to evaluate environmental, social and governance business policy, and often does not consider it cost effective. Reporting on ESG in Australia up until recently, was not an important process for listed business, and investment into internal ESG risk reduction strategy minimal.
