The Notorious ESG: Business, Climate, and the Race to Save the Planet

At a time when ''woke capitalism'' and the ESG construct are under attack, Vasuki Shastry gives his readers a comprehensive, yet easy to follow overview of the ESG landscape as a predicate to calling out the urgent need for the business community to play its part in combatting the climate crisis and furthering social justice objectives. By addressing head-on both the challenges and the imperatives of addressing the challenges, Shastry, with the benefit of his insider’s perspective, provides a much needed and valuable roadmap for business leaders and their advisers to navigate the ESG landscape.

Vasuki Shastry has achieved the impossible: his book makes a serious topic both accessible and entertaining. It’s a reminder to us all that we have to stop paying lip-service to ESG – the planet’s survival depends on it. Every Chief Executive should be forced to read this and forced to question their approach.

Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) has become the noun, verb, and adjective of the modern business era. Faced with societal and regulatory pressure, big business in America, Asia, and Europe has been forced to define and articulate ESG goals to combat climate change and save the planet.
