What do companies really think of sustainability? What are they doing to improve their ESG credentials? These are some of the many questions 161 of Fidelity International's investment analysts around the globe have been asked as part the annual ESG Analyst Survey. And with 15,000 meetings with management teams a year under their belts their insights are invaluable for any asset allocator.

To dig through the findings Richard Edgar is joined by Global Head of Research for Fixed Income Gita Bal, Head of Strategic Initiatives for the Global Investment Research Team Fiona O'Neill, and Fixed Income Portfolio Manager Kris Atkinson. 

With additional contributions from Global Chief Investment Officer Andrew McCaffery and analysts Marcel Stötzel and Eric Zhu.
