Integrating ESG aspects in financial sector to benefit all stakeholders, says report
20 December 2020, 3:17 am ·2-min read
New Delhi, Dec 20 (PTI) Integrating environmental, social and governance aspects in the financial sector will benefit all stakeholders, and such factors are expected to remain central in boosting the economy in the post-pandemic era, according to a report.
In the report released on Sunday, leading consultancy EY India also underlined the challenge posed by lack of standardisation in environmental, social and governance (ESG) marketplace as the scenario has led to 'subjective interpretation' in certain cases.
'Integrating investor expectations on ESG parameters as part of stakeholder engagement practices and sustainability initiatives will be key in the post pandemic times,' it said.
Noting that there has been a shift in focus of many businesses and investors from profits to people as the pandemic unrolled, the report said it is believed that in the post-pandemic era, ESG factors will remain central to driving the economy upwards.
The report titled 'Risk, Returns and Resilience – Integrating ESG in the Financial Sector' noted that integration of ESG aspects in the financial sector will pave a path for all stakeholders being considered in the decision-making process. This will result in real world impact benefiting everyone.
'Being a relatively new concept, ESG lacks a conclusive methodology to define its different concepts and there is a variation in the analysis of ESG across different communities and jurisdictions.
'This has led to increase in subjective interpretation in certain cases where asset managers label the product as ESG but do not put in adequate ESG safeguards while making investments,' EY India said.
As per the report, it is essential for the financial sector to include ESG factors and enhanced climate risk methods within the investment due diligence process, risk-management processes, stress test and portfolio impact assessment.
The sector also needs to stay ahead of the regulatory tide and prepare for upcoming deadlines while critical technical standards and specifications are still under discussion and not yet finalised, it added.
Further, the report said that instilling discipline into non-financial reporting processes and controls to build confidence and trust will also be a key factor.
Chaitanya Kalia, Partner and National Leader of Climate Change and Sustainability Services (CCaSS) at EY India, said the COVID-19 pandemic has ascertained the importance of ESG in businesses to manage risks, improve returns and build resilience for a crisis-resilient long-term value creation.
'As we look at the financial sector from the ESG lens, investors need to evaluate environmental and social issues that have a profound and direct role in the economic revival,' Kalia added. PTI RAM RVK

The Minnesota Twins beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 Thursday night in Seattle.
Yohan Pino picked up his first Major League win. He pitched five innings and held the Mariners to one run on seven hits, while striking out four.
The Twins took three of four from the Mariners in Seattle. It's the first time they have won a series in Seattle since August of 2010.
Seattle took an early lead in the game, on a solo home run in the third inning by Kyle Seager, his 14th of the season.
But the Twins rallied back, they got to Tom Wilhelmsen in the third inning, scoring a pair of runs in the third inning. Sam Fuld and Brian Dozier attempted a double steal and the throw from Seattle catcher wound up in the outfield, allowing Fuld to score. Dozier moved up to third. He scored on a sacrifice fly moments later by Kurt Suzuki.
Suzuki had a big night for the Twins. He finished 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
Minnesota added to the lead with a big two-run double from Kendrys Morales in the fifth inning to push the lead to 4-1.
Pino escaped a jam in the fifth inning, getting Corey Hart to ground out with the bases loaded.
The Twins bullpen took it from there.
Anthony Swarzak gave up one run in 1 1/3 innings. While Brian Duensing and Casey Fien navigated the rest of the seventh and eighth innings holding the Mariners scoreless.
The Twins got a break late in the game thanks to a base running mistake by the Mariners when James Jones got thrown out at third base after Trevor Plouffe made an alert play defensively to cut off a throw to the plate from the outfield to get Jones trying to sneak into third.
Glen Perkins came on in the ninth and picked up his 22nd save.
The Twins (42-49) open a weekend series in Colorado on Friday night.

New library display showcases legacy of Governor Tom Ridge
During reconstruction of the Hammermill Library, Mercyhurst included several displays of The Ridge Archives on the first floor. These archives display different artifacts, photos and letters that were significant to former Governor Tom Ridge.
University and Ridge Archivist, Bryan Colvin, was a key part of making this project a reality.
"It was higher administration's idea to set the archives up," Colvin said. "There were also donations given to them by the Arnold Palmer Foundation and the Hillman Foundation."
The reason for the construction of a special place for the archives was because Mercyhurst wanted to showcase the life of Governor Tom Ridge in a more prominent area.
Until the display cases were built, the artifacts were only sitting in boxes in the archives, right next to Colvin's office on the third floor of the library. The reconstruction of the library provided the perfect opportunity to showcase the history of Tom Ridge to the Mercyhurst community.
Tom Ridge was an extremely influential figure within the Erie community, and Mercyhurst in particular.
Colvin believes that the displays will inspire future generations of students to succeed.
Colvin decided how the showcase layouts were designed and what specific items were on display.
The creation of these displays involved collaboration from many different members of the Mercyhurst community.
The placement and prints were chosen together by Dionne Veitch, Executive Director of Marketing and Brand Management, and Jeremy Hewitt, Graphic Designer and Print Manager of Marketing and Brand Management.
They helped to make the display cases visually appealing, along with providing photographic prints of any of the desired images. Some students even aided with gathering items, such as senior Molly Kennedy and sophomore Shannon Gotham.
The main display of the Ridge Archives is a timeline detailing all the events of his life with memorabilia accompanying it.
This display also has a screen that plays a video explaining its importance.
To the left and right of the display are plaques dedicated to Elsie Hillman and Arnold Palmer, whose foundations helped finance the project with donations.
The first floor displayinclude a variety of items from Ridge's career.
Mr. Rogers' iconic sweater, given to Governor Ridge by the man himself, is on display along with a personalized note. There is also a series of letters sent by Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton to Governor Ridge.
Aside from professional work, there are photos and items dedicated to his wife and family.
Other artifacts include items that he received from different Republican conventions that he attended, photos of him alongside celebrities such as Tom Hanks and a helmet gifted to him by the Seattle Fire Department after the Top Officials Exercise.
The plethora of memorabilia and information shown from these displays should give students an impression of who former Governor Tom Ridge is and his importance to the Erie community.
Colvin and his collaborators have worked to make sure that our students remember his legacy.
