In this latest podcast in our Pensions and ESG series, Head of Responsible Investment at Royal London Asset Management (RLAM), Ashley Hamilton-Claxton joins our Pensions Professional Support Consultant, Tim Smith to discuss recent ESG developments and how Royal London and its clients are responding to these.
In this podcast, Ashley discusses:
• how the measurement of ESG related risks is evolving during what she describes as its tumultuous 'teenage years' and the challenges this presents
• how RLAM is responding to the need to assess the extent to which portfolios are aligned with the Paris Agreement goals
• what 'net zero' means and the limitations of net zero targets, and
• practical tips for trustees who are grappling with how to implement an effective ESG risk management strategy.
