1313 ET – Investors say their concerns related to environmental, social and governance concerns include climate risks, the pace of regulatory developments and private debt, Sustainable Fitch says. Responses from investors were given in a series of webinars held in February, the Fitch Group division says. “The proliferation of ESG regulations remains top of mind for many market participants, as shown by the volume of questions received about developments on taxonomies, Scope 3 disclosures, emerging trends in biodiversity targets for corporations and the prospects for nature-related disclosures,” according to Sustainable Fitch. Investors also questioned when they can expect to see harmonization across the various ESG standards and regulations, according to Sustainable Fitch. (stephen.nakrosis@wsj.com)
