Mainstreet Partners has added new hires to its ESG research division.

Djolan Captieux has been appointed as director and co-head of the department. He joins from FTSE International where he was global ESG quality manager. Also appointed in ESG research are Simone Borsetti, Martina Castelli, Jaime Diaz-Rio Varez, Soner Hasan and Georgina Anne Taylerto.

Rodolfo Fracassi, CEO and co-founder of MainStreet Partners, says: “It’s great to welcome new colleagues as we continue to expand our services. It allows us to maintain a competitive advantage in services such as ESG fund ratings and portfolio analysis, an area of the business increasingly in demand from clients, but also due to new regulations at a European level. Our commitment to ESG Advisory was established 13 years ago and we’ve witnessed extraordinary growth over the last few years. It is important to ensure our clients avoid the risk of greenwashing and enable them to offer the most effective ESG solutions.”
