Asset Owners, Sustainability, and Inclusion

The Sustainability Space: Virtual Professional Development Lecture Series

The Sustainability Space is a series of virtual, discussion-based events for students studying sustainability at The Earth Institute, Columbia University. Hosted by faculty and student group leaders, these discussions will explore a variety of critical topics, ranging from energy to equity and more.

The March 18th session is titled Asset Owners, Sustainability, and Inclusion and will feature:

• Bhakti Mirchandani, Director of Responsible Investing, Trinity Church Wall Street (Moderator)
• Keren Raz, Senior Responsible Investment & Governance Specialist, Private Markets, APG
• Sujohn Sarkar, Managing Director, Asset Management (Real Estate Portfolio), Trinity Church Wall Street
• Andrew Siwo, Director of Sustainable Investments and Climate Solutions, New York Common

The asset owner-asset manager dialogue is the fulcrum of the investment value chain. By working together with the asset managers that they allocate to, asset owners can drive systemic change. The focus of the asset owners in this panel spans asset classes from public equity to real estate and private equity and hedge funds.
