BRUIN ESG series

In this episode, we discuss some of the key developments in ESG, AI and Fintech, and implications for corporates and investors.

We discuss how much FinTech/InsurTech is contributing to enabling firms to make ESG aspirations a reality.

Is AI a force for ‘ESG-authenticity’ — or a Blocker?

What are remaining barriers and conundrums that remain in the ESG data domain – and how can AI and Fintech help to address these?

When people talk about bias in AI? Where does that come from? Can we fix it?

Over the last five years we have seen an explosion in VC funds focusing on Fin tech start-ups in the ESG space.

And it’s become clear that FinTech start-ups with ESG embedded in their businesses are more attractive to the best talent, and can safeguard young fast growing companies from risk.

So we’re delighted to have partnered with the Network for Sustainable Financial Markets (NSFM) and FinTech Circle for this Podcast – and to discuss such an exciting and evolving space.

Featuring:

In this episode, Georgina is joined by one of the Co Founders of Talk About Black, an Executive Coach from Executive Coaching Consultancy, a charity Migrant Leaders – and some of the brightest and most inspiring industry leaders across investment management.

We talk through some of the societal issues we’ve witnessed over the past 12 months – and the positive things our investment clients have done around Race and Ethnicity.

We discuss the implications on diversity arising from COVID19, how we can work to combat these, and how data and reporting can help.

We explore ways in which culture can play a key role in achieving inclusion- and the dangers of a misaligned corporate culture to your investment process.

As PRI’s CEO Fiona Reynolds puts it ‘Responsible investors must address systemic racism and inequality. This will be neither simple nor straightforward, but we cannot shy away from the challenge any longer.’

We now find ourselves at an intersection. This is the year for change.

Featuring:

In this episode, Georgina is joined by a diverse range of speakers from asset management, wealth management, alternatives, not for profit, and a Professor of London Business School who is also a Ted Talk speaker.

We discuss what the New Normal in Sustainable Investing will look like in the aftermath of Covid 19. It seems we’re entering an era where ESG products are moving into the mainstream and the pandemic has been a key accelerator towards this.

In 10 years’ time will there be any distinction between sustainable and traditional investing? We explore how we can accelerate the ESG movement, so that we get there even quicker! Are we moving fast enough? We’re still not where we need to be and behaviours haven’t caught up with ambitions yet.

We examine how companies can deliver both profit and purpose - and touch upon ESG data, ratings and how to best measure ESG.
