Callan has released its 2025 Asset Manager Sustainable Investment Practices Study, highlighting asset manager responses to environmental, social and governance (ESG) questions in Callan's proprietary database. Compiling input from more than 1,500 unique organizations, the study reveals how, and to what extent, asset managers integrate sustainability-related factors into their investment processes.
“We have seen marked changes since our first study in 2023, as some firms have reduced their focus on sustainability integration, while others have expanded their efforts and increased the resources devoted to this area,” said Tom Shingler, senior vice president and ESG practice leader at Callan.
Key findings from responses include:
76 percent integrate ESG research across their investment platform (77 percent in 2023)
71 percent have a firmwide ESG policy (74 percent in 2023)
39 percent publish a quarterly or annual sustainability
