Abstract: 
This study examined the inclusion of environment, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the managerial decision-making process. The integration of ESG related information for the UK and French fund managers is discussed in this study. The data regarding managerial beliefs is collected using questionnaires filled by fund managers in the UK and French markets. Overall, our findings are mixed for the significant difference in beliefs. Managers of both countries have common beliefs that the Government demands environmental and social responsibility (ESR), ESR will better manage investment risks and corporate governance (CG) will bolster long-term shareholder value. UK managers believe that CG is the fiduciary obligation of the company while French managers believe that ESR is the fiduciary obligation of the company. UK managers believe that ESR is demanded by the shareholders while French managers have a belief that CG is demanded by the shareholders. French managers have the more favourable view towards ESR. On the other hand, UK managers have balanced beliefs toward CG, and ESR.
