Alex Edmans is Professor of Finance at London Business School, Academic Director of the Centre for Corporate Governance, and author of “Grow the Pie: How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit” recently updated for the pandemic. In this podcast series, Alex explores the complex challenges facing responsible businesses, with Tom Gosling, Executive Fellow, Centre for Corporate Governance, LBS.
In this episode, Tom and Alex discuss how to incorporate ESG factors into the investment process and why we can’t always expect ESG investment strategies to outperform traditional approaches. They explore evidence on the real-world impact of different ESG investment approaches and explain why ESG investors may choose to hold “dirty” stocks such as oil companies, as they focus on engagement and activism rather than divestment.
