In our latest piece, we explore how the politicization of ESG has led to its retreat in the US and why this may ultimately benefit investors. By unbundling the “E,” “S,” and “G,” we foresee a new era of pragmatic, risk-based investing that sharpens the focus on financial materiality. Read more about how this shift could redefine sustainable investing for institutional investors. https://lnkd.in/eh6r7eif #climateintegration #transitionintelligence #oilandgas #energytransition #lowcarboneconomy #ESG #ClimateFinance #InstitutionalInvesting

Realize that this may not be a popular take, as a mission driven company—to watch the retreat of ESG investing, and not put forth a defiant stand to defend it. Personally believe that companies should be well governed, value diversity, protect the environment, do right by climate, its workforce and community. Those activities should result in financial value. But don’t think investors need ESG to make those assessments. And for investors who want to focus on climate risks, the unbundling of the E, S and G will make it easier to free risk management from the US culture wars. Differences between UK/EU and US continue to widen. Interested in takes, critiques.  Mark Campanale Lane Jost Jeff Gitterman Ian S. Fuller Emily Berger, CFA Georges Dyer

"As ironic as this may seem, ESG will become more integrated into overall investment strategy in 2024 — and less of a special category of investing."

🌎 New research highlights that despite growing political resistance to ESG initiatives in the US, investors continue to demand climate action from financial service firms. Investors increasingly view climate change as a significant financial risk, with the clean energy transition seen as a key growth opportunity. Companies with strong climate strategies are likely to attract more capital and achieve long-term financial success. 💡 The message is clear: Climate action isn't just a social responsibility; it's essential for long-term success. Financial institutions that can navigate this complex landscape are poised to become industry leaders.
