Challenges to ESG Investment: Who’s Pushing Back and Why?
The rapid rise in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investment in recent years has become a hot topic in the international financial market. Born of increasing public concern over climate change, social inequality, and corporate governance issues, ESG investing emerged with the aim of achieving sustainable development by integrating environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance into investment decisions. This approach not only places emphasis on financial return but also focuses on the long-term impact on the environment and society, striving to create a social and environmental win-win situation while pursuing economic benefits.

Mutual Funds’ Strategic Voting on Environmental and Social Issues
Do Environmental and Social funds vote the way they talk? Do they walk the walk or only talk the talk? Every year, around March-April, asset managers like BlackRock, Vanguard or Fidelity vote on behalf of their millions of funds investors in thousands of proposals at their portfolio companies. In recent years, their votes on environmental and social proposals have taken the spotlight. Indeed, the extent to which these managers support environmental and social proposals is an important factor in the debate concerning the impact of institutional investors on firms’ attitudes towards ES issues. It is equally relevant to efforts by the SEC and other regulatory agencies to encourage institutional engagement and tackle concerns over greenwashing.
