While 2020 will always be remembered as the year of the coronavirus pandemic, it was also a significant year for sustainable investing with ESG considerations receiving major global attention and action.
Morningstar increased its activities in the ESG space in the past year too. It acquired full ownership of Sustainalytics, the recognised global leader in ESG research and ratings, and in November announced the integration of ESG risks into Morningstar's regular analysis of stocks, funds and asset managers.
To introduce and explain the latest ESG features in the Israeli market, Morningstar, Sustainalytics and Israeli Funds Observer are hosting a joint webinar.
