Fidelity International (Fidelity) has announced the appointment of Jenn-Hui Tan to the role of chief sustainability officer (CSO), a new position within the firm.
Tan, who formerly served as the global head of stewardship & sustainable investing at Fidelity, will now oversee the sustainable investing and corporate sustainability departments.
The alignment is aimed at bolstering the consistent governance of Fidelity’s sustainability initiatives throughout its various client service areas. This will span a wide range of services, including investment management, advisory and personal investment platforms, as well as retirement solutions.
