Coronakrisen har fået virksomhederne til at optræde mere ansvarsbevidste, konkluderer Goldman Sachs. ESG har med andre ord fået et løft under krisen, hvor hensynet til medarbejderne og samfundet nu tæller mere end hensynet til aktionærerne.
Uddrag fra Goldman Sachs:
ESG Elevated by COVID-19
CORPORATES
In the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, social responsibility has become a central consideration for corporations. Prior emphasis on share buybacks and dividends has taken a backseat to the health and safety of workers, flexible work schedules, customer accommodations, and community services. Corporate preparedness during this crisis has amplified the evolution of ESG factors as a material business question.
