Federated Hermes, Inc. announced the launch of the Responsible Investing Institute to train members of the investment community about the topics of responsible investing and role of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in investments. To develop the initial three-course curriculum, Federated Hermes teamed up with KKS Advisors, a leading, global advisory firm working with investors, corporations, foundations and non-governmental organizations to develop bold and effective ESG integration and impact strategies that pave the way to a more sustainable society. As U.S. investors have a growing interest in incorporating ESG considerations in their portfolios, the Responsible Investing Institute offers three 50-minute courses that are eligible for continuing education credit. The courses are: ESG 101—The first course helps investment professionals identify what ESG is and what it is not while defining key concepts, themes and approaches. ESG data and investment implementation—The second course expands investors' knowledge about authentic ESG integration, helps advisors navigate the ESG data landscape and recognize the value of engaging with corporate issuers. ESG business implementation—The third course is a practical guide for advisors and asset allocators to help them identify ESG interest and talk about responsible investing with new and existing clients. Beyond the courses, additional resources include podcasts to help financial professionals learn more about the what, why, how and who of responsible investing.
