Together, they analyse the events and circumstances that led to the ESG-backlash and discuss whether we are witnessing a structural shift away from ESG investing, or only a temporary setback. They also shed light on what the consequences could be.
Despite the backlash in politics and public discourse, both speakers still see a lot of public support for sustainable transition. As Lewis Johnston notes: “When we look at public opinion on the net-zero transition and attitudes towards diversity and inclusion measures, we actually find a very different picture from that painted by the anti-ESG lobby.”
Key topics of this podcast include:
- Why and how did the ESG-backlash emerge?
- What could the consequences of the backlash be?
- Are the proponents of ESG perhaps also to blame for the backlash?
- Are we moving permanently away from ESG investing, or is this a temporary hick-up?
- How can we turn the tide for sustainable investing?
