ESG factors are increasingly being integrated into institutional investment policies and practices, according to new research from Morningstar Inc.
Morningstar’s 2023: Voice of The Asset Owner survey synthesized data from global asset owners about environmental, social and governance investment issues and how their perceptions influence their thinking and decision-making. The firm’s second annual survey probed asset owners to deliver quantitative data about ESG considerations and investment strategies. The report, written by Tom Kuh, head of ESG strategy at Morningstar Indexes, and Arnold Gast, ESG director at Morningstar Sustainalytics, is a follow-up to July’s qualitative insights survey.
The report’s authors also noted that sustainable investing is complex and diverse. Although there are challenges across the field, they concluded that a majority of asset owners seek to accomplish sustainable investing.
