Asset manager Fidelity International said on Thursday it had appointed Jenn-Hui Tan to the newly created position of chief sustainability officer.

Tan, who was previously global head of stewardship & sustainable investing at Fidelity, will now be responsible for both the group’s sustainable investing and corporate sustainability teams, it said in a statement.

“Setting ambitious sustainability goals at an enterprise level is a core part of our approach to drive positive change,” said Global Chief Investment Officer Andrew McCaffery.

Tan joined the company in 2007 from law firm Norton Rose Fulbright.
