Fifty Shades of Green: What Should Responsible Business Mean?
Description
In this episode, Laura chats with Jo Giessler, former Head of Global Citizenship at White & Case about the evolution of corporate sustainability over the last several years and how it has influenced the rise of ESG and Sustainable Investing. Along with its exponential growth, ESG Investing has come under scrutiny and has been forced to defend itself against claims of greenwashing amid a broader push for accountability and improved credibility in global markets. As a result, global regulatory regimes are increasingly requiring product labeling and disclosures, while the private sector and investors encourage greater transparency. As an executive who has worked in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, Jo’s career focused on transforming corporate culture while ensuring economic value. This background provides us with a thoughtful insider’s view into a very complex and rapidly evolving industry. Tune in to hear the conversation!
