Research Currently in Progess
Rosenberg, D.(n.d.). Real ESG as a Cure for a Failing Democracy. In Progress.
ESG is necessary because Citizens United and other decisions have allowed corporations to influence the substance of the laws that regulate them. Since passing stricter regulations is nearly impossible, environmentalists have called upon corporations to modify their behavior by focusing on the “E” in ESG. My paper argues that, contrary to conventional wisdom, fiduciary duties need not prevent corporate decisionmakers from prioritizing environmental values and therefore sacrificing profits. Indeed, for ESG to succeed, corporations can and must pursue their environmental agendas irrespective of the fact that this will inevitably hurt the company’s bottom line. Proponents of ESG should admit this at the outset.
