Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment (also known as "socially responsible investing," "impact investing," and "sustainable investing") refers to investing that prioritises the best environmental, social, and governance (ESG) elements or results. If you does not know about this process, You can details by Paulo Dalla Nora.

1. Will ESG also shape
Politics?
Paulo Dalla Nora Macedo

2. The Economist published a provocative piece on mob rule in its second edition of
2021, entitled “Madison’s Nightmare,” which closed with an enlightening warning by
arguing that “The age of democratic naivety died on January 6.

3. At the core of the text is Alexis de
Tocqueville’s formula to uphold
democracy: Do not rely on the
Constitution alone for the
Herculean task of defending
democracy; a country must have
a self-reliant and educated
population, alongside an elite
that recognizes that its first duty
is to educate the democracy. Will
this suggestion resonate in the
corporate world?

4. One piece of evidence of wider responsibility is that dozens of Republican Congress
members voted against certifying the election, in line with the Capitol mob’s wishes, even
after the invasion. Just recently, the Republican Party has declared that the event was a
“legitimate political discourse.”

5. Predicting that the broader responsibility-seeking movement would occur,
technology and social media companies blocked the president’s accounts,
as well as many of the amplifying voices, on an app that was becoming a
haven for extremists.

6. Companies like Marriott, Airbnb,
and Dow Chemical announced
they would suspend donations to
the members of Congress who
voted against the American
election certification. Citibank,
Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan,
among others, announced that
they were suspending all
donations while “reassessing
internal financing policies.”

7. One of the biggest donors to
political movements in the
United States, billionaire Charles
Koch, reopened discussion of
responsibility for past conduct.
Along with his brother David,
who died in 2019, he helped
boost the Tea Party movement
and the far-right wing of the
Republican Party in the United
States. He carried out a
meaculpa in his most recent
book, Believe in People.

8. While this was obvious,
it did not prevent many
companies from making
statements supporting
the president on several
occasions, just as
several CEOs had no
qualms about posing for
photos at White House
events with Trump.

9. The investment to push the Trumpist agenda may have achieved positive
returns in the short term, with the approval of a tax-cut package, but it will
have a substantial negative cost in the long run, through the wounds it left on
society.

10. In this process, the
companies’ public
statements and their
leaders’ behaviors also
need to be cross-checked
against the
corresponding ESG
policy. Are they aligned,
or is there a chimera
scenario: the company
as the political animal
and the corporate being.
