FSI appoints three to RI team
First Sentier Investors has appointed three people to its responsible investment and corporate sustainability capabilities.
Joanne Lee had been appointed as responsible investment specialist, Rebecca Antonini had been appointed to the newly-created position of head of corporate sustainability and Cressida Grant was appointed as head of corporate philantrophy.
Lee would be based in Hong Kong and be responsible for the delivery and promotion of the firm’s responsible investment strategy in Asia. She joined from WWF International where she was a technical specialist in the sustainable finance team.
Antonini would be based in London and would deliver and execute a global strategy to manage the firm’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) impact. She had worked at FSI for 15 years in a variety of senior roles and locations.
Finally, Grant, who was also based in London, would lead the firm’s development of the global philanthropic strategy, having joined FSI from UK charity The Prince’s Trust.
FSI chief executive, Mark Steinberg, said: “Joanne’s appointment supports the investment teams’ commitment to incorporating ESG principles across their processes and strategies. This is central to their investment approach, and underpins our corporate identity.
“We also believe acting responsibly as a business is in the best interest of our clients, and enables us to support our key stakeholder groups including our employees, wider society and our shareholder. Increasingly, corporates are also being assessed and held to account for their business practices and social impacts and how these are aligned with stated responsible investment principles.”
