The Practical Guide to Sustainable Investing takes a shrewd and honest look at the realities of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing and provides a pragmatic steer for how finance professionals can make it work for them in practice.

The book delivers a balanced overview, covering topics such as Sustainable Investing, Data and Disclosure and Corporate Sustainability actions, and diving into individual asset classes including Equities, Bonds, and Alternatives. It neither blindly praises or criticises activities, but rather explains the incentives and compromises that have occurred to reach a certain point, reviewing both successes and failures in sustainable investing. Above all, it is practical: it presents examples and cases in each chapter and offers useful ideas and plans for how to take sustainable finance forward while balancing credibility and commerciality in equal measure. By offering a realistic account of what is working and what is not, readers of this book will be given a unique and deep insight into the current environment and a suite of thought-provoking ideas they may carry forward in their own careers. Together, the authors built one of the financial industry's fastest growing and most decorated sustainable investing franchises, and their impressive credentials and deep knowledge underpin the book.

This is a must-read for every finance professional, investor and regulator-whether they are seeking to fast track their careers, bring commercial and sustainable learning to their organisation, or upgrade their understanding of this crucial but complex topic.
