Russell Investments has appointed Mike Clark as director of responsible investment.
Clark will be based in London for this global role.
Clark’s prime responsibilities will be to lead and support the development of Russell’s responsible investment capabilities and the promotion of sustainable work practices. Steering Russell’s support of the UNPRI (United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment), he will continue to chair the Russell Sustainability Council.
Clark joined Russell in 1995 and has held several positions, most recently as a director in Russell’s pensions solutions group.
Pascal Duval, EMEA chief executive, Russell Investments, says: “Russell Investments is committed to developing its responsible investment capabilities, in particular the continuing analysis of ESG factors into decision-making. Mike has successfully led our Sustainability Council since its inception over three years ago when Russell became a UNPRI signatory. This appointment follows from that ongoing commitment.”
