Abstract
Growing concerns about the long-term sustainability of many industries have led to big changes in approaches to corporate strategies and management. Pressure from financiers is adding to the momentum. Concerns about climate-related financial risks and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data, have helped create demand from bankers for companies to show that they are actively working towards global climate goals. From enacting policy changes to purchasing carbon offsets, corporations and their shareholders are more aware than ever that remaining competitive requires a concrete commitment to sustainability. But can those commitments be fully trusted?
