ESG Research Analyst

"I can succeed as an ESG Analyst at Capital Group."

A key pillar of Capital Group's ESG strategy is to incorporate ESG insights and data into the investment process across asset classes through thematic and company research, proprietary tools, and company engagement. Our sector-based ESG Analysts generate impactful ESG research on under-appreciated investment risks and positive investment opportunities. You will identify, research and monitor ESG issues, and work closely with investment analysts to incorporate ESG insights into their analysis where relevant. You will establish insights and debate your views with senior internal stakeholders including portfolio managers. You will engage companies under your sector coverage, develop and cultivate external expert networks, and own proprietary ESG data frameworks.
