In ESG Decoded fashion, Amanda guides an ‘Impact Investing 101’ conversation that can benefit institutional and individual investors. Listen as she and Rickard discuss investment stewardship as a part of impact investing strategies. They also provide historical context for responsible investing in different regions.
