ESG is one of those topics that, IMO, everyone should know about. And what they do and do not mean.

There’s a lot to unpack. For this week’s episode, I was joined by Gracee Shorter, who is an environmental accounting professional at Ecovadis to help break it down. Throughout the convo, please excuse my pessimism. Regardless of current limitations, the benchmarking that ESG ratings can provide, pending standardized methods are used and data provided is actually comparable between firms, is hugely important as we strive towards sustainable development.
