The ESG debate: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
In a column published by Expansión, Pablo Jiménez reflects on the debate surrounding ESG criteria and their role in the evolution toward more sustainable, responsible and long-term business management models.
In the column “Debate sobre ESG: lo que no mata, fortalece” (“The ESG debate: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”), published by Expansión, our partner Pablo Jiménez examines different perspectives on incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into business management.
