So, you're interested in the ESG space??

Over the last few years, there's been a massive increase in the amount of content produced regarding environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") - so much so, that it's often difficult to find resources that truly help educate those interested in getting started in the space or simply discovering it from a high-level.

Most practitioners have their own sources to keep up to date on all things - below are a few of the ones that I recommend when folks ask me where to start, though with a bias towards hardware / real assets. Please note, this is not sponsored and inclusion should not be considered an endorsement of any product or service!

Frameworks, Standards, and Reporting (I personally have completed certifications with LEED and SASB, as well as brief courses with UNPRI and GRI)

• UN Principles of Responsible Investing (UNPRI)

• GRESB and LEED/BREEAM/WELL (for real assets, infrastructure, and green building)

• Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB)

• Global Reporting (GRI)

• Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)

• Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which is already in place within the European Union!
