Abstract

The article discusses the concept of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and its current challenges. It explains that ESG has become a broad and inchoate aspiration for what businesses should be doing beyond maximizing shareholder value. The article suggests that E, S, and G should be unbundled into their own separate categories and that linkages should be made when merited. It also emphasizes the need for companies to focus on measurable and material factors within ESG and to invest resources in developing practical solutions to the most material negative impacts on society.
