Emerging Markets

Investors who are willing to take advantage of the economic growth and direct capital towards more sustainable businesses in emerging market regions need to understand how local companies manage sustainability challenges. With leading emerging market companies performing well enough to be part of traditional global investment portfolios, there is a strong momentum toward investing in emerging market economies and scrutinizing firms about the level of ESG integration in their business practices.
