• The development and growth of ESG funds, even in the USA despite the debates on ESG, also requires issuers to work on asset portfolios and funds with a robust methodology and a well-documented approach to investment decision-making.
• The strong increase in double materiality exercises, via impact assessment, is also forcing companies to explore their impacts and mitigation measures.
