On this episode brought to you by First Sentier Investors, we’ll be talking about biodiversity and natural capital and how investors are taking these massive topics on board.

Joining us is First Sentier Investors responsible investment specialist Joanne Lee. Recently First Sentier Investors shared its internal biodiversity and nature guide, which outlines which resources can be used at each step for investors to undertake nature-related company assessments and develop engagement approaches to biodiversity risks.
