How Can Investors Adapt to the Demand for ESG Integration?

In recent years, environmental, social and governance (ESG) themes have rapidly risen to prominence within equities and fixed income. In commodities however, this discussion is still in its infancy.In this session we'll explore using ESG data and to construct greenhouse gas (GHG) estimates for each metal that is a constituent of the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) benchmark.
