The past few years has seen an explosion of interest in ESG and sustainable investing. As a result, more and more fund managers are making sustainable claims. Which also does raise the issue of greenwashing. How are everyday investors meant to assess the claims being made by companies?
We sat down with Daniela Jaramillo - Head of Sustainable Investing, Australia at Fidelity. Daniela unpacks how sustainable investing has evolved over the years, how regulators are looking into this space and what we as everyday investors can do to assess ESG claims and avoid greenwashing.
