Sustainability and ESG Indices: A Booming Ecosystem with Kyle Rudden

In this episode, we are delighted to welcome Insight Provider Kyle Rudden, who helps us unravel the tangled web of index providers and the SRI (sustainable and responsible investing) and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) indices and benchmarks they create, which power the current growth in sustainable investing. Read Kyle's Smartkarma Original Insight here: https://skr.ma/mnDxihDRMkCZjY1R8 Kyle Rudden is an ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) analyst with an alpha-centric approach to ESG research. After all, ESG investing is, first and foremost, investing. "Alpha-centric" does not mean apathetic, however. Quite the contrary. Kyle believes global sustainability – i.e., environmental stewardship, social equality, and economic prosperity – is imperative, and private-sector capital is its cornerstone. Private-sector capital still has fiduciary responsibilities. Profitability is necessary for sustained impact. The Triple Bottom Line. People, Planet, AND Profit.
