#32: Implementing ESG Process - Top 10 Greatest Hits

ESG, or Environment, Social and Governance regarding sustainability, was thought of as an add-on to an investment thesis 5 or 10 years ago. But the world is arriving at the doorstep of ESG investors. Its more than an add on, it is a base layer, a foundational component of investment philosophy. And its rare that we get to take part in forming such a crucial component of investment philosophy. For teams that take on what ESG means to their particular process and philosophy, they may find themselves with a more rounded out look at a company, a more enhanced view of risk, and likely, stronger conviction in real long term competitive advantage. So how do you implement ESG into your process? In this podcast, Pip and I talk about just a few of the 10 greatest hits we published in 2020 on ESG. We’re happy to send you the piece, this is just a starting point. *Just one thing to listen for before we begin: I hope the tactic of pulling away from moral arguments and into exploring the gray zones is particularly helpful. Using this tool, you might be able to lay the groundwork for productive discussions right from the beginning.
