We must evolve the way we evaluate a company's value! Can we put ecosystem services on the balance sheet?

Shein, 9,000 new lines a day, and ESG investing https://t.co/DjuCTok5Oq "This is greenwashing in its purest form. A fashion retailer dropping 9,000 lines a day is not sustainable. On the contrary, it’s grotesque." #shein #textiles #ESG #ESGFuture #greenwashing #fashion #consumer

Thank you @MITSloanExperts for hosting this great conversation on the future of #ESG investing.. And thanks to you @jasonjjay for lending your insight. It’s always great to talk with you #ESGFuture
ESG is growing so fast, like building a skyscraper as fast as we can. We need the speed - urgent issues. But if we build on a shaky foundation of measurement and misunderstanding, it could collapse. We have to build the skyscraper and the foundation at the same time. #ESGFuture
A7: Engagement does take work, and maybe we should be willing to pay. But the first low-fee engagement option I know of is @EngineNo_1 with the clever tickers "VOTE" and “NETZ” (Net Zero). I am hoping more people enter this space. #ESGFuture
Say you want to prioritize climate – is ESG the key thing to consider? Not quite, says @jasonjjay ⏳ #ESGFuture
A6: (1/4) Not right now. ESG includes a whole host of other social and governance issues. Even when climate is a factor it's sometimes just "does the firm have a climate policy" as opposed to hard emissions numbers. #ESGFuture
Q7: This has been a great conversation. I’ll end by asking you how accessible ESG investing is for the average person. Some sustainable funds are active shareholders, like Boston Common or Brown Advisory, but have high fees. Is there a way to do this affordably? #ESGFuture
(4/4) I also hold out hope for debt like sustainability linked bonds and green bonds. Would like to see “transition bonds” that provide a lower cost of capital to help gray companies get greener. Recent research by Kölbel and Lambillon: https://t.co/HRl2mOzUaR #ESGFuture
(3/4) One, as we have said, is shareholder engagement. Institutional investors can work from the @ActOnClimate100 platform. Retail investors can join activist funds. #ESGFuture
(2/4) And, buying and selling stocks does very little to change the world and reduce GHG emissions. But there are investor actions that might help reduce emissions. #ESGFuture
A6: (1/4) Not right now. ESG includes a whole host of other social and governance issues. Even when climate is a factor it's sometimes just "does the firm have a climate policy" as opposed to hard emissions numbers. #ESGFuture
Q6: Okay, so if you are concerned about climate, is ESG a good way of prioritizing that issue?

Hey @jasonjjay, which of Environmental, Social, or Governance criteria are easier/harder for #ESGFuture investors to track?
What are we up to at @MITSloan to improve the ESG field? Let our Director and co-founder of our #AggregateConfusionProject @jasonjjay fill you in 🧵#ESGFuture
A5: (1/3) The first thing we did is convene a great team of researchers and a great group of investors who want to tackle these problems and support our work: @MassPRIM, @followMFS, @AQRcapital, @QontigoFinance, and Asset Management One. #ESGFuture
(3/3) Third, ESG data could be the basis of many decisions besides portfolio construction - shareholder engagement, customer boycotts, employee activism, and public policy intervention. If we want it to inform such high stakes decisions, we need to ensure data quality. #ESGFuture
(2/3) Second, we see nothing wrong with using ESG data to get better return, as long as you're honest that's the objective. So we are working to reduce noise in ESG data to help it be more predictive of return. #ESGFuture
A5: (1/3) The first thing we did is convene a great team of researchers and a great group of investors who want to tackle these problems and support our work: @MassPRIM, @followMFS, @AQRcapital, @QontigoFinance, and Asset Management One. #ESGFuture
Q5: And how is MIT Sloan contributing to this picture? #ESGFuture
Hence the massive uptick in sustainability reporting... but still some dark corners of corporate behavior that would benefit from mandatory disclosure... but that still won't cover privately held firms. Long way to go. #ESGFuture
