iClima on International Women's Day: 'Women to drive future ESG investments over next decade'

iClima Earth’s Gabriela Herculano catches up with Proactive’s Katie Pilbeam once again on International Women’s Day to discuss how she believes women are set to drive increasing investment into ESG funds globally over next decade.

Herculano explains how women’s growing share of wealth and influence in the asset management industry will spur increasing investment into environmental, social and governance (ESG) and women are set to play a key role in directing more investment into sustainable investments.

She highlights Professor Mauro Guillen’s book, ‘2030 – How today’s biggest trends will collide and reshape the future of everything’, points to women accumulating wealth faster than men: for example, in America women now receive most undergraduate and graduate degrees, more than 40% of married mothers earn more than their husbands and about 70% of mothers work full time outside of the home.
