Is the ESG concept coming to an end?
In a column published by Expansión, Pablo Jiménez examines the debate surrounding the future of ESG and five macrotrends pointing to the continued relevance of environmental, social and governance criteria in business management.
In the column “¿Llegó el fin en torno al concepto ESG?” (“Is the ESG concept coming to an end?”), published by Expansión, our partner Pablo Jiménez reflects on the criticism and questions that began to emerge around the ESG movement and the possibility that the term itself could evolve into a new form.
Pablo identifies five macrotrends supporting the continued relevance of this approach to business management: increasing attention from executives and boards of directors to ESG risks; regulatory development and convergence; greater scrutiny of greenwashing; the growth of sustainable finance; and rising stakeholder expectations regarding the role of companies in addressing environmental and social challenges.
Beyond the evolution of the ESG terminology, the article argues that these trends reflect a broader transformation in how companies manage risks, respond to their stakeholders and contribute to addressing complex challenges.
