As we enter the final few months of a highly competitive presidential race, it seems that reports of the death of ESG may have been greatly exaggerated. One recent survey found that 52% of global business leaders agree ESG leads to lower costs and 69% say it leads to lower risks.
Sustainable business initiatives have gotten a second wind—and with it, a rare opportunity to reconsider how we frame the climate crisis. That means abandoning some of the alarmist messaging that may have put sustainability in the political crosshairs to begin with—and highlighting the importance of childlike imagination and creativity, especially in facing complicated challenges.
To be clear, the climate crisis is undoubtedly one of the world's most urgent challenges, requiring long-term action from all stakeholders. ESG is also a vital framework for incentivizing businesses to adopt impactful environmental policies. But what's not so certain is whether these alarming messages are actually having the intended impact.
