Thanks Rachel. One of the key take-aways for me is the emphasis on financial dimensions. To date ESG has been closely linked to Ethicial (values based) investing.

Future events that are likely to lead to a material impact on earnings and hence valuations and attractiveness of the investment.
Cheers
