To discuss her approach to ESG investing we’re joined by portfolio manager Anna Lester. For Canadian investors, Anna manages Fidelity Sustainable World ETF alongside her colleagues Max Kaufmann and Shashi Naik, and today will explore how the fund is positioned for 2022. The war in Ukraine continues to have widespread economic implications for companies around the world, though perhaps none have been feeling the effects more than those operating in Russia. When it comes to ESG, it’s become clear that consumers and investors alike expect not only companies to maintain high standards, but also the countries in which they operate. Anna will unpack this and more today with host Pamela Ritchie, as well as how is ESG evolving, and what do global standards created by the SEC and other governing bodies mean for investors? This discussion was initially presented as a live webcast on Earth Day, with Anna also taking questions from the webcast audience.

Recorded on April 22, 2022.
