State Street Sets ESG Partnership With Harvard's George Serafeim

   By Colin Kellaher

State Street Corp. (STT) on Thursday said it will work with George Serafeim, a Harvard Business School professor of business administration, to advance the firm's environmental, social and governance investing research.

The Boston financial-services company said Mr. Serafeim will work with its State Street Associates academic-research arm to address such issues as what frameworks investors should use and how they should incorporate material ESG factors into their investment process.

Mr. Serafeim, whose research focuses on ESG and sustainability issues, was included last year on the Barron's list of the 20 most influential people in ESG investing. Dow Jones, the publisher of this newswire, also publishes Barron's.
