ESG TALKS - The social dimension of climate change

The issue of sustainability is multifaceted. Climate is undoubtedly the most obvious and urgent task. Climate is also directly linked to social factors as it affects multiple areas of the economy, such as agricultural activity, food and water security, health effects, education and the security of livelihoods. In addition, the Covid-19 crisis has put a sharper focus on social aspects and specifically the support systems companies are providing to their staff, their suppliers and the communities within which they operate. Hence with good reason are institutional investors increasingly turning their attention also to the 'S' when it comes to sustainable investing.
