We are excited to share our latest insights on why many Emerging Markets (EM) companies are among the leading sustainability adopters on the global ESG stage: “ESG in Emerging Markets: Unlocking Sustainable Growth.”
This new report follows the recent launch of a new mutual fund vehicle for our EM strategy — a strategy with an almost decade-long track record that has always focused on providing investors with the opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of EM companies with sound governance and sustainable business models.
Key themes include:
- ESG investing in Emerging Markets (“EM”) is evolving from traditional risk mitigation to alpha generation.
- Emerging Markets companies are among the leading sustainability adopters on the global ESG stage.
- Boston Common’s history of engagement leadership has helped raise the ESG bar across the board—at the company, regulatory, & exchange levels.
