Contest Of ESG Narratives

2024 was the year marked by diverging views of ESG between those that support its implementation versus the skeptics, driven by a rise in right-wing politics around the world, especially in the US and Europe. Will we see continued backlash against ESG in 2025 and what does that mean for businesses trying to navigate the international ESG regulations? We discuss how this and other themes could play out in 2025 with Pieter E. Stek of the Asia School of Business.
