Is ESG 'Woke'? – Julia Binder (IMD)

Julia Binder is a Professor of Sustainable Innovation & Business Transformation at IMD. She specializes in the intersection between sustainability and innovation, and was featured on the 2022 Thinkers50 Radar list of management thinkers to keep an eye on.

In this episode, we ask her about the current backlash in the US against ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) scores. Professor Binder points out that this political debate is mainly due to a widespread misconception of what ESG really is.

She explains what ESG is in practice, the crucial difference between single and double materiality, and discusses future prospects in the world of corporate sustainability.
