CNBC: ESG has become one of the most polarizing topics for companies and across Wall Street. But billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones says that a lot of the pushback simply comes down to how it is framed by critics.
BNN Bloomberg: Big global banks are eying some of the world’s most fragile countries for a new experiment in financial engineering: debt relief in exchange for environmental protections.
IR Magazine: The majority of large Canadian companies link ESG metrics to executive pay, although most lump ESG issues in with other areas rather than considering them on a stand-alone basis, according to new research from Canadian law firm Fasken.
BNN Bloomberg: The asset management unit of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has drawn in over $1.6 billion in client cash for a fund registered under the European Union’s toughest ESG rules.
Mondaq: As the University Pension Plan increases its focus on climate change, its responsible investment policy considers environmental, social and governance factors as essential to sound long-term investing.
RIABiz: Vanguard Group's cold calculus to join an ESG group with BlackRock and State Street is now a hot mess after it flip-flopped, threw active management under the bus and perhaps jeopardized its relationships with “blue” states to appease “red” ones.
BNN Bloomberg: More than a dozen Republican state attorneys general have blasted ESG financial practices, while Republicans in Congress plan to increase their scrutiny of what they call “woke capitalism.”
Reuters: A movement by financial firms and activists to challenge companies over their efforts on climate change and social inequality faced organised and growing push-back in 2022, led by Republican U.S. politicians.
Forbes: Why have Republicans declared war on ESG? ESG, which stands for “Environmental, Social, and Governance,” is a set of standards that companies employ to pursue socially responsible, especially pro-climate, policies. Notably, many state-level Republicans take climate change seriously; their governments advocate for renewable energy and invest in climate adaptation.
Yahoo Finance: Crypto is squarely in the cross hairs of Washington regulators, with fresh calls for stricter controls before the industry can get big enough to affect the broader financial system.
