Claims of irresponsible ESG  – from a Responsible Investment Officer

A head of Responsible Investing shocked the investment world when he said that short-term “green” investment products undermined ESG impact measurement. Will companies “walk the ESG talk” –  substantiated by comprehensive and qualitative data to support their commitment?

• • Does the argument have any merit that investment duration / product horizon conflicts with measuring/qualifying ESG impact?
  • What does the data show?  What fund flows are we seeing among institutional and retail investors between traditional and ESG funds? 
  • Will companies create “good ESG / bad ESG” entities? Is this “ethical” or opportunistic?
  • Are more regulatory mandates needed?
