'In a world where ESG is both celebrated and contested, The Ethics of ESG offers a timely and critical examination of its evolving landscape. Valentina Gentile, Eric W. Orts, Andreas Rasche, and Alan Strudler bring together leading voices in law and business to explore ESG's theoretical roots, ethical dimensions, and practical challenges (with much nuance and insight). This book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, investors, and business leaders who seek to better understand ESG-one of the most pressing corporate governance issues of our time.' Dorothy S. Lund, Columbia 1982 Alumna Professor of Law, Columbia Law School, New York 'Once heralded as key to driving investment and business decisions to be in line with broader environmental and societal goals, the ESG movement is now widely debated – with questions about its content, effectiveness, and ideology. At this critical moment, The Ethics of ESG is a much-needed intervention. This book provides one of the most wide-ranging and sustained analyses of the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of the practice of ESG. It brings together in one volume the latest thinking of leading scholars from a variety of disciplines, covering critical topics from a variety of perspectives. Those concerned about ESG may not agree with everything they read in this book, but they – and the future of the environment and society – will be better for having engaged with it.' Nien-he Hsieh, Kim B. Clark Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School 'This book is a welcome breath of fresh air and an honest assessment of ESG, what has become for many a 'social movement' that should not be questioned. But as we watch the near death of the idea, these timely chapters do just that, examining the misalignment between what ESG has been trying to measure and what it is trying to achieve. These authors provide a fervent hope that we can move to the world 'beyond ESG' and really get down to the business of addressing both the financial and the ethical dimensions of the climate crisis.' Andrew J. Hoffman, Holcim (US) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan 'ESG attracts a lot of attention. Some is positive: hundreds of billions of dollars are invested in ESG funds worldwide. Some is negative: many US states have enacted anti-ESG laws. But we still don't have a good grip on what ESG is, and what it could be. Is it just a way for corporations to protect shareholders' profits from environmental, social, and governance risks? Or is it a new way of doing business that promises to solve pressing social problems, possibly at shareholders' expense? Is ESG here to stay or a passing fad? This volume brings together leading scholars in law, management, and business ethics to explore these questions. It constitutes the state of the art in ESG scholarship, and is required reading for anyone who wants to understand the current debate, or to make a contribution to it.'
