“In 2020 and 2021, the focus of ESG was primarily on societal challenges as a result of the pandemic and movements such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo,” said Ricardo, who heads Dow Jones ESG and impact investing research. Aceves said. “However, recent data suggests a growing concern for the environment, such as greenhouse gas emissions and air quality. The focus is on the physical impact on people, workforces and businesses.”
