Lecture: “Greenwashing and ESG Investing at a Crossroads”
Speaker(s)
James A. & Stacy Cooper Bicentennial Professor of Business Administration (Finance)
The inclusion of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors as part of investment processes has gone mainstream but disparities among commitments, actions and impact remain. This session will cover what we know about ESG investing, “greenwashing” (the exaggeration by investors’ of their actual commitments to sustainable investing) and some of the recent backlash against ESG.
