• How Michael finds his client's ESG interest in his use of a questionnaire, and further conversations with what ESG means to each client.
• The challenges around making the transition to ESG and how the space is constantly evolving.
• The power of shareholder advocacy to drive change at a company level and how to assess that through a client’s investments.
