Introduction
Aurum Funds Limited hosted their second Alternative ESG Symposium in May 2024, aimed at driving forward positive, sustainable change across the industry. The symposium gathered subject matter experts and industry representatives to collaborate and share insights across a wide range of disciplines. In order to share these discussions with a wider audience, the content from the panel sessions has been collated into a series of short articles, covering the key ideas and potential benefits to the alternative investment industry.
This first part of the series covers the session – “An ESG Policy outlook” – which discusses the current status of policy and aspirations for the future.
