96. Why social issues have been wrongly ignored by investors

ESG has become a more prominent part of the fund management industry over the past couple of years, but the focus has really been on the E (environment) and G (governance). In this podcast, Katherine Kroll, senior sustainable investing specialist at Brown Advisory, talks to us about the S: social issues. She tells us why they have been overlooked, why it’s important that both society and investors think more about how company action can proliferate racism and environmental injustice, and why diversity and inclusion should be part of every investment process.
