- Investing
Carine Smith Ihenacho is Chief Governance and Compliance Officer at Norges Bank Investment Management, the Norwegian wealth fund. It’s the largest single equity owner in the world and sets out to be the most transparent. She is therefore likely the most powerful person in the world of ESG.
In our podcast episode, Huw van Steenis and I discussed:
How you can combine sustainability with the
pursuit of returns
The difference between the US and Europe when it
comes to the energy transition
How the fund takes action to divest and exclude
companies on climate, enviromental and even tax grounds
How NBIM conduct their reviews
Issues with ESG ratings and how they can be
improved
Why companies pushing back targets paradoxically
may be a sign of progress
Carine is uniquely placed to comment on the
energy transition and all things relating to governance and this was a fascinating conversation.
