Standard Life adds to ESG team
Global investment manager, Standard Life Investments, has added to its ESG investment team.
The company announced this week it had appointed Marc Brammer and Sophie Rahm as responsible investment analysts, reporting to head of responsible investment, Amanda Young.
The company's announcement said Brammer and Rahm would play an important role in the further integration of responsible investment considerations into the wider investment process and engaging with companies on environmental and social issues.
It said they would also be part of the team that managed the criteria for Standard Life Investments' UK range of ethical funds.
Commenting on the appointments, Young said the pair had joined the team to further integrate ESG considerations into the wider investment process.
"ESG considerations have grown in importance over the last decade, as more investors become aware of the significance of how human rights, labour, environmental, and business ethics impact on corporate conduct," she said.
"We believe that companies concerned about the long-term interests of their shareholders should manage relationships with employees, suppliers and customers, and consider the long-term impact of their actions on the environment and society as a whole."
Brammer joined Standard Life from Inflection Point Capital Management and previously MSCI Inc, while Rahm joined from Schroders.
