Josina Kamerling, head of regulatory outreach for CFA Institute for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and Guillaume Prache, Managing Director of BETTER FINANCE discuss a hot topic, sustainable value for money, based on a survey taken with CFA Institute and BETTER FINANCE.

They delve into the impacts that duty of care, ESG investing, MiFID II, Key Information Documents (KIDs), among others factors have on sustainable value.
