Responsible Investment Specialist, Joanne Lee, presented our nature and biodiversity toolkit, ‘Investors can assess nature now’ (ICANN) on 8 May, followed by Q&A hosted by Pensions for Purpose's, Monique Stephens. This guide outlines a due diligence framework for assessing companies on exposure and responses to freshwater and forest.
