Climate change cited as leading ESG criteria for both money managers and institutional asset owners

Both money managers and institutional asset owners cited climate change/carbon emissions as the top issue they addressed in ESG incorporation, with each group saying it applied to more than $3 trillion of the assets under their purview.
-
Additionally, money managers reported applying fossil fuel divestment policies across $1.2 trillion in their assets under management, putting it in fourth place among all the ESG criteria they address. Avoidance of military/weapons related investments and tobacco-related investments ranked second and third for money managers, affecting $1.8 trillion and $1.7 trillion in assets, respectively.
-
For institutional asset owners, the second most important ESG issue factored into investment decision-making was avoidance of companies doing business in countries of high conflict risk, affecting $3.3 trillion in assets. Board issues and sustainable natural resources/agriculture were the third and fourth most important ESG issues for institutional investors in asset-weighted terms, affecting $2.9 trillion and $2.8 trillion, respectively.
