Danesmead ESG Podcast on the Evolution of ESG
We recently spoke to Global Relay Intelligence & Practice (GRIP) commissioning editor Jean Hurley about sustainability and climate reporting across the US, UK and EU.
We discussed the divisive nature of ESG and the regulatory compliance burden on firms, as well as the US-focused ESG backlash and greenwashing.
We covered the regulatory landscape and how we see ever more challenging regulations like CSRD impacting on investors and companies.
And of course we discussed AI, and how it might complement ESG.
