Podcast: Beyond ESG - UN PRI stewardship and engagement initiatives with David Atkin

Enhancing sustainability and incorporating environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) matters into investment decision-making and ownership practices can be a vast and overwhelming task.

To get the job done right, it is a path that no responsible investor or asset manager should tread alone.

The United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI or PRI) is an international network of more than 5000 financial institutions with over US$121 trillion in assets under management, working together to advocate for ESG integration into investment activities to promote sustainability.

David Atkin, chief executive, has a long list of accolades to his name and prior experience at the helm of entities the likes of the Climate Council, AMP Capital, Cbus Super, ESSSuper, and more.

Senior journalist and host Rose Mary Petrass sits down with David to discuss the latest developments in responsible investment, effective stewardship strategies, and the growing focus on social impact within the investment community.
