Ogier Global is launching a new online product, ESG Align, designed to help asset
managers get up to speed with environmental, social and governance
(ESG) themes, terminology and regulatory
requirements.
ESG Align launches just as the Securities and Futures Commission
(SFC) released its consultation conclusions on the
management and disclosure of climate-related risks by fund managers
on 20 August 2021.
ESG Align is designed to elevate managers' understanding of
climate-related risk in portfolio management, and provide a useful
compliance check against the new SFC requirements.
The product, which was created by the Sustainable Investment
Consulting team, has been devised in response to increased client
demand for ESG expertise among asset managers.
