Understanding ESG Investing
By Andrea Young on June 1, 2022
We want to thank Kirsten Meder for leading our July 12th Empower Women Event, Understanding ESG Investing. Kirsten discussed where we’ve come from in terms of ESG and impact investing, where we are now, and opportunities for the future. She also talked about how the integration of values and ESG data has provided a great entry point for many women to become more involved with their investments. “In so many of my client meetings women not only have a seat at the table but are actively engaged if not leading the discussion around how they want to invest.”
