Seeing beyond the ESG backlash

Guide

Climate change, biodiversity loss, rising inequality and geopolitical volatility are no longer hypothetical future risks. They are already unfolding, with potentially catastrophic consequences for economic stability, business continuity, and the ability to preserve and enhance value.

Yet, at the same time, the political backlash against ESG is stoking polarisation and uncertainty, stalling momentum behind enhanced regulation and active stewardship designed to accelerate transformations in corporate strategy and governance.

Caught between these competing forces, how are boards to navigate the crucial years ahead?

In this briefing, we lay out the case for looking beyond the current political turbulence and recognising the inevitability of sustainable transition. For when we do, the imperative of fully understanding and addressing sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities becomes much clearer.
