Research conducted by international academics and asset managers has found that putting ESG at the heart of business will pay off in the long run.
New analysis conducted by the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business in partnership with Rockefeller Asset Management shows that improved financial performance due to ESG becomes more noticeable over longer time horizons.
“We’ve seen an exponential increase in ESG and impact investing as evidence builds that business strategy focused on material ESG issues goes hand-in-hand with high-quality management teams and improved returns,” said Professor Tensie Whelan, the centre’s founding director.
