Who killed the ESG party? What is the future of ESG? The Financial Times explores these questions in this short new film.
ESG investing was until recently one of the hottest buzzwords in global finance. Now banks and asset managers are scaling back pledges and taking a quieter approach to sustainability in general, after poor performance, a conservative political pushback and allegations of greenwashing.
This new FT film asks who killed the ESG party — and whether we may now be moving into a more serious, substantive phase of the drive towards cleaner, fairer capitalism.
Produced by Daniel Garrahan, it also features FT colleagues Katie Martin and Stuart Kirk, as well as Nicolai Tangen, Henry Fernandez, Fabiana Fedeli, Desiree Fixler, Mark Campanale and Tariq Fancy.
