ASIFMA’s Asset Management Group (“AAMG”) comprises some of the world’s largest asset managers and is focused on helping investee companies 1 in Asia to improve their engagement with, and disclosure of, sustainability issues. The recognition that environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues can have a material impact on investments has driven global asset managers and their clients to the realisation that effective assessment and management of these issues is part of their fiduciary duty. Just as asset managers are undergoing a paradigm shift to better integrate ESG issues into their investment processes, they also expect investee companies to undertake similar organisational changes to better assess and mitigate material ESG issues within their scope of business.
