Understanding ESG:
virtual training seminar

Flows into ESG funds have grown exponentially in the past five years. Data from Morningstar shows in flows of €54.6 billion into sustainable investment options in Europe in Q2 2020.  In the UK, the data for July 2020 alone showed a net total of £1.2 billion poured into sustainable vehicles.[1]
