MSCI永續發展中心成立 台裔李宜玲出任創始負責人
MSCI在13日宣布成立 MSCI 永續發展中心，以協助資本市場發揮作用，創造永續價值，並應對氣候變遷等全球挑戰。中心創始董事兼主管將由台裔美籍李宜玲（Linda-Eling Lee）出任，她曾入選美國金融界100位最具影響力的女性。
MSCI指出，MSCI永續發展中心將利用 MSCI 在投資行業累積的經驗和專業知識，推動金融業、學術界、政府、非政府組織、智庫及各行各業之間的合作，並助力縮小在制定戰略過程中所涉及的資料、分析、政策和行動之間的差距。 無論是推動業界再生能源經濟轉型，或是應對其他長期風險，都需要資本市場生態圈的通力合作。
MSCI永續發展中心可提供相關支援，促進多方合作。這些支援包括提供資料和專業知識、共同探索全新方式、推薦有助決策的研究、搭建思想交流的平台。中心將為學術研究人員及政策制定者，提供投資者決策時所採用的永續資料、指標與模型。
MSCI永續發展中心計畫與史丹佛大學商學院等頂尖學術機構合作，舉辦培訓，進而幫助研究人員及學生了解這些資本配置指標如何設定和投入實際應用，以便在永續資料領域快速發展中常保優勢。
MSCI 董事長兼執行長費南德斯（Henry Fernandez）表示，氣候變遷等全球挑戰，無法單靠政府、企業、非政府組織，或多邊組織等任何一方獨自解決。最有意義的解決方案均需要某種形式的跨界合作。MSCI永續發展中心將廣泛彙集具有互補優勢和專業知識的專家，並協助他們將資料分析所得到的構想，轉化為實際行動，發揮影響力。
MSCI 永續發展中心負責人李宜玲曾為 MSCI 全球 ESG 和氣候研究部主管，建立永續領域頂尖的研究團隊，對於永續價值和投資風險的長期驅動因素有深入的研究。在 ESG 和永續發展領域，她是備受肯定的領導人物與思惟領袖，曾入選美國金融界 100 位最具影響力的女性。
李宜玲表示：「我們非常高興能與投資者、學術界、政策制定者、非政府組織和各行各業攜手合作，通過運用 MSCI 在衡量財務和非財務價值方面的創新經驗，讓資本市場對於如何促進永續價值，有更深的認識。」
