„For Erste Asset Management, ESG is becoming more integrated in the investment process and in our product offering. We have recently launched discretionary portfolio solutions that are compliant with the Art.VIII of the SFDR, i.e. their strategies are considering ESG factors in the investment decision making process. We firmly believe that ESG is not a fading investment theme, but it is a mean to align investment financing with broader society’s goals and long-term interests.”, said Horia Braun-Erdei, General Manager and President of the Board of Directors of Erste Asset Management Romania.
„In Romania, particularly, we think that Governance (the G in ESG) is a key topic for both investors and broader stakeholders. Romanian issuers have ample room for improvement in terms of alignment and accountability of management structures and the observation of broader governance principles. Current gaps in the pursuit of governance, along with environmental and social goals, are likely to become subject of institutional investors’ engagement actions as sustainability requirements become an ever increasing part of client mandates and retail client conversations.”, he added.
Horia Braun-Erdei, CEO Erste Asset Management Romania, is one of the speakers of THE SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGE 2023 in the Financing panel.
