HOW YOU WILL UPSKILL
Audio library for learning on-the-go
Hand-selected premium industry research
New audio reports released monthly
Flexible listening via PC or mobile app
Alexandra Brown has been experimenting with different ways to efficiently absorb ESG and sustainable finance knowledge since 2015. As a finance professional, you know you need to keep up-to-date with this constantly changing space, but reading report after report is impossible to fit in with work, family, and life commitments.
What about podcasts?
Like many finance professionals, Alexandra listens to podcasts on socially responsible investing and sustainable finance. Many don’t quite hit the mark, don’t actually answer the question or get to the point, are uninteresting, filled with ‘fluff’, or hard to digest. Sadly, while some episodes are diamonds in the rough, podcasts can often feel frustrating and like a waste of time.
What about written reports?
Altiorem is a brilliant online library, filled with written summaries and key insights from leading sustainable finance reports from across the globe.
As Head of Research at Altiorem, Alexandra reads a wide range of articles and research that expand her understanding of the role finance plays in sustainable development. But, while the reports are hard-hitting, focused and relevant, there is not enough time to read in full every piece being submitted for inclusion in the library. Some are over 300 pages!
What’s the solution?
Alexandra came up with a solution for finance professionals to overcome these barriers, so we can now listen and upskill on-the-go.
ESG Audios showcases the excellent research in ESG, sustainability, and responsible investing, and delivers it in audio format ready for you to consume on your commute, during your workout, while pottering around the house, running errands, doing the garden, walking in your lunch break, or any other time that suits your lifestyle.
Flexible. Relevant. Up to date.
That’s what ESG Audios delivers so you can stay at the forefront of the industry.
“I’m thrilled I can now listen on-the-go and finally take those reports out of the to-be-read pile and into my knowledge bank.”
Alexandra Brown, Altiorem

WHY TRUST ESG AUDIOS TO SELECT AND PRESENT VALUABLE REPORTS?
Alexandra Brown is the Founder of ESG Audios and Ethical Invest Group. Since 2015, she has been reviewing literature and conducting research in ESG and ethical investing. During five years of academic research, she developed model ESG portfolios, testing whether ethical portfolios performed better than traditional portfolios. Agreeing with the majority of research in this space, her own results show no significant difference in returns when investing ethically, and confirm the likelihood of a long-term bias, meaning ethically-tilted portfolios may in fact perform better in the long run. Her research was developed upon a literature review of more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles.
Alexandra is also Head of Research at Altiorem, a sustainable finance library, and Co-founder alongside Pablo Berrutti and Mariana Wheatley. Alexandra and the team began building Altiorem in 2019, and the organisation has now grown to include a library and resource centre with nearly 2,000 members. Altiorem’s community-built model has seen more than 100 volunteers write and catalogue hundreds of research summaries and organisation profiles.
“Alexandra has been a key reason for the success of Altiorem, building our critical systems, standards for quality and review and volunteer training program. Alexandra has also played a key role in the development of Altiorem’s strategy.”
- Pablo Berrutti, Altiorem
Alexandra is responsible for ensuring the quality of the library is upheld, and led the development of a detailed taxonomy to categorise the reports, for enhanced search capabilities and improved member experience.
Given Alexandra’s experience in the industry, her skills in research analysis and categorisation, and her network of finance professionals, Alexandra is perfectly positioned to lead your learning through the curated ESG Audios platform. She remains informed, connected, and up-to-date through her extensive network of ESG and finance experts, her vast and varied research and development projects, and her drive to make sustainable investing the norm.
