In part two of this two-part episode, Patti continues her conversation with Sarah Bratton Hughes, the Head of Sustainability at North America for Schroders.  They delve deeper into how governments can influence investor and consumer behavior by imposing new laws and tax policies.  With recent Presidential actions, the United States is positioning itself in a leadership role and will most likely influence a significant increase in global climate action.  Various industries and markets around the world are evaluating everything from their labor practices to their environmental impacts, to make sure strong governance is in place that will result in more positive environmental or social policies.  Investors are looking to maximize long-term returns by understanding which industries and markets are compliant or moving towards sustainable practices.
