I hope you enjoy our discussion on this topic, in all of its facets.

Just a decade ago, the concept of ESG did not seem to be as prevalent in the public consciousness.

Companies, investors and governments are recognizing that long term sustainable performance relies on an understanding of the interdependency between financial, social and environmental factors.
