This Week Rob Gardner returns to the Value perspective podcast to interview Roberta Barr from the Value Team as part of our Meet the Manager miniseries. Both Roberta and Rob have a passion for ESG investing. Since his last appearance on the podcast, Rob has departed St James Place to start his new venture, Rebalance Earth, the world’s first holistic natural capital solution. The vision is to offset over a gigaton of carbon through nature based solutions, protecting and improving biodiversity and generating daily income for millions worldwide. He aims to achieve this through piloting several projects in the UK and worldwide that provide the flow of income for nature’s ecosystem services. Roberta is the Head of ESG Investing in the Value Team and she joined Schroders as part of the grad scheme six years ago. In this episode Rob and Roberta discuss: how the Value Team integrates ESG factors into their investment process; how the Value Team engage with companies on ESG issues; the tools and frameworks that Schroders and the Value Team use to manage ESG risks, including those related to biodiversity;  and finally, how biodiversity risks have played a significant role in the Value Team’s decision making. Enjoy!
