Sustainable; responsible; and impact investing (SRI) is an investment discipline which incorporates environmental; social; and corporate governance (ESG) criteria to enhance long-term risk management; competitive financial returns and positive societal impact. The first part of this talk looks at some recent academic and industry research applying machine learning to better understand the relationship between ESG factors; returns and risk. The second part of the talk moves away from more traditional applications of machine learning in the domain; and looks at how the nature of SRI and ESG increases the risk of ignominy for both institutional investors and issuers; having a tangible effect on capital flows; income and reputation. Case studies will be used to illustrate how AI is leveraging natural biases in institutional views and expectations.
