ESG Investing and Analysis - A Practitioner's Guide

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on 1 November 2022):

This authoritative book on understanding ESG highlights the need to understand the correlation between ESG and Climate Risks, Sustainable Financing, and the journey to Net Zero.

This practical guide allows any practitioner, regardless of their level of knowledge on ESG, to understand the issues and challenges around investing in the emerging world of ESG assets.

The book enables anyone from financial services corporate functions (such as data, risk, finance, treasury, accounting, IT and operations) to understand the prerogative and narrative on setting up, establishing, and strengthening the ESG function. Given the global push to move to sustainable and ethical finance, the book provides insights into how various concepts - such as how to achieve net zero, setting the decarbonisation pathway, environmental analysis sector by sector, climate risk analysis, climate risk VaR, and most importantly of all, balancing profit vs. purpose - support sustainable development of the global economy.

This guide is a must read to understand the ten-year roadmap required to develop and establish best practice in ESG data management, analytical models and methodologies, as well as the ever-expanding universe of reporting and disclosures.
