240: COP27 and the case against blanket divestments – the CIO call

In this month’s episode, Sonja Laud, LGIM’s chief investment officer, discusses the key takeaways from the COP27 climate summit thus far. She also argues for forceful engagement with companies key to the energy transition, where possible, rather than blanket divestments. Sonja is joined by Kurt Morriesen, Head of ESG Advisory, who attended the summit in Sharm El Sheikh, and Nick Stansbury, Head of Climate Solutions. The episode is hosted by Max Julius, Head of Content, and was recorded on Tuesday, 15 November.
