“The IVSC’s new ESG Working Group feels that it is important to carry out a survey of investors, firms, and valuers to understand where they are on their journey in relation to the quantification of ESG components within their valuations. Within valuation, no explicit standards exist,” says Alex Aronsohn, IVSC technical standards director (tangible assets).

The survey forms part of a broader programme of activities linked to ESG and valuation. The Working Group has issued a survey of investors, businesses (as users of valuations), and valuers.

The ESG survey will run through April, and survey respondents can register to receive a report of the findings, which the Working Group will issue later this year.
