ACA Group (ACA) has appointed Marie Luchet as managing director of ESG, heading up the practice’s strategy and vision for Europe.
Luchet brings more than 20 years of experience in sustainable finance, ESG research, and corporate sustainability to ACA.
Luchet was previously the director of Continental Europe with Principles for Responsible Investment (UN-PRI), the global association in sustainable finance.
At UN-PRI, Luchet oversaw the design and implementation of PRI’s European strategy, which included supporting investors in implementing ESG integration practices for all types of investment strategies and asset classes, as well as tailoring go-to-market strategies for PRI’s environmental, climate, social, and governance outputs.
Prior to this, Luchet served as head of responsible investment with ECOFI Investissements and as an ESG sell-side analyst with CIC Market Solutions.
Dan Mistler, partner, head of ESG advisory at ACA Group, comments: “We see the ESG market changing, and Marie’s expertise and leadership will help ACA’s clients stay ahead of the curve, particularly in drawing on her first-hand experience in global best practices for ESG integration.”
Luchet adds: “I am delighted to work with the ACA ESG advisory team to support investment managers in implementing their ESG strategy, meeting their disclosure requirements and creating value at company, fund, and asset levels.
“The mainstreaming of responsible investment is here to stay; it is supported by continued and exponential growth in ESG regulation all around the world, and by a strengthening of supervisors’ controls on managers’ ESG claims and practices.”
