Prediction of global ESG assets said to exceed USD53 trillion and will represent more than one third of total assets under management by 2025. Diversity and inclusion are significant components of ESG, and women’s participation bring greater depth to it by actively creating impactful investment opportunities. Today, women control 32 per cent of the world’s wealth and contribute USD5 trillion every year. It is time to recognise the economic impact of this powerful group of decision makers because women make up half of the world’s population and will add value to any business, economy as well as society.
