Followers of this blog will know how many Insights are shared from Wharton and the brain trust over at UPenn. From their Nano-tools for leaders to their easily digestible podcast episodes, Wharton shares a vast amount of relevant and interesting information to businesses and those in leadership. One of their more interesting topics is their ESG initiative, which stands for Environmental and Social Governance. This topic has perhaps never been talked about in the mainstream as much as it is now, and with good reason. From the climate crisis to social justice, this initiative is at the forefront of these issues and is a valuable tool for leaders.
Their most recent podcast episode highlights Witold Henisz, vice dean and faculty director of the ESG initiative. As the world population and businesses are learning to adapt to our changing climate, we have a lot of adjustments to make. Every consideration, from where assets are physically placed and where investments are directed needs to adapt as well. Leaders and investors must start to listen to the science and understand what will be viable in 20 to 30 years and what will not. In this new podcast episode, Mr. Henisz goes into how businesses can address climate change, and how these adaptations will lead to better business health in the long run. Check it out when you have a free 20 minutes, and see how your business is looking in the long run.
