Pioneering sustainable finance lawyer Prof Paul Watchman sadly passed away

Pioneering sustainable finance lawyer Paul Watchman, who led the landmark 2005 UN initiative which devised a legal framework for ESG investing, has sadly died.

Long before his October 2005 Freshfields Report for the United Nations, before his driving advocacy for financially material and fiduciary aligned ESG, the window into the late Professor Paul Quayle Watchman's soul was crystal clear.

"His lifetime of work will never be forgotten" - a tribute to Professor Paul Watchman from his friend Paul Clements-Hunt can be found here
