In very broad strokes, ESG consists of criteria used to measure the negative
effects, or costs to others, of a company’s behavior. Examples of such criteria
include things like climate change impact, employee working conditions, and
board independence and executive pay. The original and most fundamental
purpose of examining ESG factors and data is to assess a company’s material
risk associated with practices that may not be sustainable in the
long-term. Yet, as these E, S and G data categories have increasingly
become grouped together, ESG has taken on a life of its own beyond merely
assessing sustainability risk, giving fuel to critics who say that ESG is an
ideology that promotes “woke” corporate decision-making that is not in
shareholders’ best interests. In this presentation, we will examine how
ESG has made its way into corporate retirement plan investment decisions, into
executive performance incentive metrics and into regulatory disclosure
requirements.
