In this episode of our IN Tune podcast we sit down with Doug Morrow, BMO’s Director of ESG Strategy, to go over the key findings from the department’s recent launch of ESG coverage for the base metals and diversified mining industries in a report entitled, “Beneath the Surface: Exploring ESG Trends and Progress in the Base Metal and Diversified Mining Industries”.

We talk everything from minerals traceability to diversity, equity & inclusion, and review how investors can apply the findings in their investment process.

We also preview the latest report, “It’s Getting Hot in Here… So Let’s Analyze Climate Change Risk on US REITs”, a collaborative effort covering how climate change effects US REITs. Where BMO’s Research team worked together with the BMO Climate Institute and other parties to run a first of its kind analysis on how US real estate companies are exposed to wind, wildfire, and flooding risks that are being exacerbated by climate change.
