  • Summary

  • When investors want to avoid specific activities in their portfolio – like tobacco, gambling, weapons, or adult entertainment – they turn to ESG screening.

    But what happens behind the scenes when fund managers make these crucial decisions? Are all ESG funds created equal? And how can an investor be sure their money isn’t inadvertently supporting sectors they wish to avoid?

    In this episode, we’re joined by Julia Leske, managing director and senior consultant in ESG strategy at ISS ESG.

    Julia sheds light on how ESG professionals navigate the fine lines in screening and controversies – from vapes to toilet paper and beyond.

    The host of The Greener Way is Rose Mary Petrass, senior journalist at FS Sustainability.

    ISS ESG is part of ISS STOXX, publisher of FS Sustainability.
