Let's embark on a journey to understand how these elements, backed by compelling statistics, can redefine success for investors and the companies within our portfolios.

1 年Thank you for calling attention to ESG. In my work on staff and as a consultant, evaluating the integrity of ESG practices within a company leads to clear markers of underperformance and opportunity. It has been the genesis of important initiatives to improve performance and competitiveness. Though many companies see its principles and implementation as burdensome and distracting from the bottom-line, we see it as a business enabler. ESG principles are core to our product and company DNA. As we build our new company, we are working to be true to its principles. RM
