FII ESG London - S011 | Showcase Presentation

The discussion revolves around the launch of an inclusive ESG framework and scoring methodology by the FII Institute, tailored to the needs of emerging markets. The tool aims to bridge the gap between emerging and developed market companies in ESG assessment, with a focus on engaging different stakeholders and recognizing sector-specific issues. The presentation emphasizes the positive reception and interest from the investor community, with a call for increased ESG investment activity in emerging markets. The tool's potential applications in capital markets, such as investment screening and tracking performance over time, are highlighted. The inclusive ESG approach is positioned as a supplement to existing methodologies, rather than a replacement, and is made available on the FII website for open-source use. The discussion also includes plans for a deeper dive session and encourages feedback from investors.
