What we stand for

Our current economic system has brought unprecedented levels of welfare and prosperity. Yet it is clear to all of us that the ways we produce, consume and finance will have to change. At MJ Hudson ESG & Sustainability, we believe that investors play an important role in this transition. First, to better understand the impacts of their investments on climate change, ecosystems, and society. Second, to challenge their investments to reduce these impacts, but also to capture the opportunities that the sustainability transition provides.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance, known in the financial sector as the three central factors in measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of companies. ESG factors, though non-financial, can have a material impact on the long-term risk and financial performance of a company. Principally, companies that correctly apply ESG are more conscientious, less risky and more likely to succeed in the long run.

Investors recognise the growing importance of this topic, and therefore work with us to measure and improve the ESG performance of their investments. We work together with the investors (e.g., private equity firms, family offices, pension funds) and the companies they invest in. These companies operate in a wide range of geographies and industries, to assess what sustainability means for them, how they currently perform, and support them with developing plans to become more sustainable and future proof over time. As such we are able to make real impact and observe the actual progress the companies/funds make over time.

About MJ Hudson ESG & Sustainability
Our team consists of approximately 20 people from various academic backgrounds. We are located in the centre of Amsterdam.

In July 2019, MJ Hudson, a London-based asset management consultancy firm, acquired Spring Associates’ ESG services, which presented a unique opportunity for our company to grow. While remaining independent and operating from Amsterdam, our entire team has transitioned from Spring Associates to MJ Hudson.

We have now embarked on an exciting journey of growth: gaining international ground, developing new products, and expanding our team – and we would very much like you to be part of that!
