In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore a key theme emerging at the center of the ESG movement in 2022: That's the idea that environmental, social and governance factors should not be considered in isolation, but rather should be understood in relation to each other.
In the episode we speak to Dr. Richard Mattison, who is President of S&P Global Sustainable1 and a member of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, or TNFD. Richard talks about the need to tie together the net zero, nature and social agendas.
"We can't achieve a transition to a net zero economy without also being a nature-positive transition and a just transition," he says.
