A P&I webinar on the theme "ESG Capabilities and Climate Impact Investing" to be held on 24 March, 2021 at 2.00 pm EDT / 7.00 pm CET, featuring Erik Christiansen, ESG and Low Carbon Solutions Specialist at Scientific Beta, will look at how to make portfolio decisions and climate engagement consistent.

How can institutional investors translate their climate objectives into investment decisions in very practical terms? By avoiding traditional climate benchmarks’ mix-up between financial and non-financial criteria,

The Climate Impact Consistent Index as a solution to the transition question
Application of the net-zero framework
The importance of the consistency of portfolio construction decisions with climate objectives
Avoiding the risk of greenwashing
