In this week’s Exponential Investor podcast, Sam Volkering and I (Shae Russell) sit down to discuss some uncomfortable truths.
Whether we like it or not, the market doesn’t care about our feelings.
Just because ESG (environmental, social and governance) is the latest investor buzzword, it doesn’t mean that all companies fall under that banner. And more importantly, simply whacking ESG on some corporate documents also risks glossing over some of the uglier truths about their business.
From here, Sam and I ask ourselves the tough questions on what this means for investors. In particular, we provide a reminder that as a shareholder, you have a right to vote in how a company operates, and you can tell them what is important to you as an investor.
