ESG investing may be going through a bit of a rocky patch, these days, but the investment tool is hardly dead. Rather, the importance of ESG non-financial reporting is more important than ever as stakeholders are looking for the potentially critical externalities that a company's business practices may play.

In this episode, Paul discusses a bit of why ESG has seen an increasing outflow of investment funds recently - while unwrapping where the investment thesis may have gone wrong in trying to tackle these challenges. And he'll end with a perspective on how and why the ESG of the future may look a bit different than what we have today.
