We are living through extraordinary times as the world fights to control the coronavirus pandemic. Economic orthodoxy has gone out of the window as governments throw everything they have at the issue.
This is happening just at the time that investors were starting to embrace environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. Some argue that ESG issues will inevitably have to take a back seat as we pick ourselves back up as the virus recedes.
But others say that the pandemic reinforces the need for investors to consider these issues. “Never has the need to build a more sustainable, inclusive economy been clearer or more urgent,” says Mindy Lubber, CEO of sustainable investing non-profit Ceres. “This pandemic is a painful reminder of our universal interconnectedness, our vulnerability to the seismic risks and sudden shocks our current capital markets systems expose us to, and the need for mass mobilization to tackle a common crisis.”
