Analysis: How 2021 became the year of ESG investing
Reuters published an analysis on how 2021 became the year of ESG investing, looking into the growing trend of social activism within investing. The article details last year’s surge in activist investing, featuring thoughts from Morrow Sodali’s Tom Skulski, Managing Director - Proxy.
Tom speaks to the record-high $649 billion allocated to ESG goals and initiatives as climate fears and moments of social unrest grow. He shares that companies may face greater operational processes following the SEC’s narrowing of shareholder voting circumstances. Tom suggests that one major operational hiccup may be how corporations choose to repurpose plastics.
