A publication from Emerging Markets ESG
Each week Emerging Markets ESG publishes an interview entitled, “Five Questions about SRI.” The interview features a practitioner’s insights about SRI in emerging markets and through Emerging Markets ESG shares this expertise with a wide global audience. The goals of Five Questions about SRI are fourfold:
To reflect on what SRI in emerging markets means to practitioners; To collect a catalogue of examples of SRI in practice in emerging markets; To raise awareness about SRI in emerging markets; and To enable SRI practitioners in emerging markets to network with peers around the world. This week’s interview is with Aldo Bonati, Head of Research, ECPI.
Aldo joined ECPI in 2007 and combines knowledge of systematic screening methods and international ESG standards with experience in integrating non-financial indicators in investment processes and structuring innovative, investable solutions for ECPI’s asset management and investment banking clients. Before joining ECPI, Aldo worked in the product development department at BNL Gestioni SGR (now BNP Paribas Asset Management), in the marketing department in Citibank’s credit card and bank business units and as fund raising officer of The Association of Volunteers in International Service – AVSI, a global non-profit organization active in 32 countries. Aldo contributed to the book Sustainable Investments – Integrating traditional analysis and non-financial indicators: the ECPI and Goldman Sachs Sustain case studies. A graduate of SDA-Bocconi School of Management (MSc, cum laude, in Management of Not for Profit Organizations, 2007), Aldo also holds a master in Economics (major in international economy) of Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi (1999).
