Document summary
Emerging markets present both a huge investment opportunity as well as a distinct set of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and challenges. Although investors generally perceive ESG risks to be larger in emerging markets than in developed markets, they are applying responsible investment strategies to a lesser degree when making emerging markets investments. Yet, especially in the context of emerging markets, addressing ESG risks can be very rewarding for investors wanting to reduce portfolio risks or looking for investment opportunities.
