think ahead: Navigating the ESG investment landscape and business accountability
In this episode of the think ahead podcast, Julian Birkinshaw and Ioannis Ioannu address key questions around ESG and sustainability. They discuss investing in ESG funds and the potential benefits and downfalls this entails as well as shareholder activism, investor motivation and how asset managers can impact change.
They also discuss business accountability through the lens of people, planet and profit, navigating the tradeoffs by “doing the right thing” - including the role of business schools in driving change.
Looking ahead to COP28 the conversation analyses the “implementation COP” and the global stock take. How far have we come? What can business do to support solutions? What is our generational legacy?
Julian Birkinshaw is Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, and Vice-Dean at London Business School and Ioannis Ioannou is Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School and a leading expert in sustainability leadership and corporate responsibility
