Mercer expands Global Responsible Investment team

Mercer has announced an expansion to its global Responsible Investment (RI) team, including the appointment of Timothy Stamp as a Sydney-based responsible investment consultant, effective April 2018.

In this role, Stamp will report to Helga Birgden, global business leader, responsible investment, and will work with Mercer's clients in the Pacific region on ESG integration.

Mercer has also appointed two more RI consultants as part of the global expansion with Max Messervy to join Mercer's RI team in Boston and Tomi Nummela joining the firm's London office.

Commenting on the appointments, Birdgen said: "We're excited to welcome Max, Tomi and Timothy to our global Responsible Investment team. We look forward to leveraging their collective industry knowledge and experience to provide exceptional support for our clients who are looking to address ESG risks and opportunities, including climate change, on both a regional and global scale."
