Environmental, social and governance risks are generally forward-looking, but the data to prove whether they are meaningful (or not) can often only be judged in the rearview mirror. Arm yourself with some knowledge of what and how ESG policies are being implemented and a sense of the market forces involved to determine whether a company is interested in honest change or a good marketing campaign.
ESG investing is not without conundrums: environmental, social and governance risks are generally forward-looking, but the data to prove whether they are meaningful (or not) can often only be judged in the rearview mirror. As a result, one must have some knowledge of what and how ESG policies are being implemented, a sense of the actors and market forces involved, and a tiny bit of faith to determine whether a company is interested in honest change or a good marketing campaign.
