The problem with ESG

This workshop discussion aims to understand where ESG has gone wrong, particularly in the context of an increasingly pessimistic discourse around the future of ESG. We will identify the main problems of ESG and establish the foundation for an in-depth series of reports and conversations over the course of next year that will offer a new path forward for sustainable investing.

The discussion will include:

• An initial conversation around the various issues facing ESG;

• an investigation into its main problems;

• and a look ahead at what should be maintained when it comes to ‘fixing’ ESG.
