Viola Lutz, Associate Director & Head of Investor Consulting at ISS ESG
Lutz describes the new US Diversity Index, the first of its kind for US companies and directors that includes ethnicity along with gender. We also discuss the launch of the Governance QualityScore (GQS) Index family, designed to help investors identify large and mid-cap companies with strong board structure and shareholder rights as well as those aligned with UN Global Compact principles. In addition, we talk about ISS ESG’s role working with institutional investors to explore climate-related risks through a suite of possible solutions.
