The trend shows the importance investors and regulators now place on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, analysts said, amid rapid global warming and shifting workforce demographics. Some political conservatives call the attention misplaced or worry the disclosures could give activists leverage to force companies to make unnecessary changes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most ESG problems are business problems. I&#8217;m an accounting professor. I can tell you that if you pick any company&#8217;s 10K and look at the risk factors, they are full of E and S problems,&#8221; said Shiva Rajgopol, who teaches at Columbia Business School. The data contrasts with a some high-profile cases where companies have dialed back ESG efforts such as working less with industry climate efforts and cooperating less with an LGBTQ+ advocacy group.<\/p>\n<p>Many executives may be taking a wait-and-see approach until national elections on Nov. 5 set a new balance of power in Washington, D.C., starting next year, Rajgopol said. &#8220;If you&#8217;re a company and something is getting you into trouble with some constituents, it&#8217;s simplest to back away from doing things that seem risky for now and just stay put and wait until January and then reassess,&#8221; he said. Which party holds the White House and Congress could energize or squash efforts to restrict ESG investing, a cause that has lagged to date.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/companies-boost-social-climate-reporting-amid-esg-backlash-2024-10-31\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/companies-boost-social-climate-reporting-amid-esg-backlash-2024-10-31\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/companies-boost-social-and-climate-reporting-amid-esg-backlash\/\">Companies boost social and climate reporting amid ESG backlash<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2469,7889,555,16755],"class_list":["post-135044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-boost","tag-companies","tag-csr-news-en","tag-social-and-climate-reporting"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135044\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
