Infra managers oblivious to impending EU ESG disclosure rules
With EU-regulated funds required to disclose their approach to taking environmental, social and governance (ESG) positive and adverse impacts into account in investment decision-making. We are seeing increased hiring efforts across this space, in-particular US managers looking to imprint their European hubs with leadership ESG talent. I found this survey interesting given the highlighted efforts on renewable investments - with the 'environmental' part of E S G - it feels as though Infra managers are way behind the curve... 'European infrastructure managers expect to grow their green assets portfolio in the next two years and a third of managers are unaware of EU disclosure requirements being introduced in March next year, according to a survey commissioned by law firm Linklaters.'
