    Great source of weekly ESG content
    Highly recommend for insight into timely ESG topics!
  • Miami ESG
    Great source of ESG insight!
    MSCI is a leader in the space and this podcast provides some great insight into the methodologies and thinking that goes into ESG investing and ratings. Love the podcast...you should have more managers and non-profits on to talk about ESG engagement with companies...like a Heidi Ridley🤷‍♂️
  • interestedineverything
    Good for the lay-person
    I love the way this podcast breaks down issues that effect my financial life in a way that I can understand as a layperson!
  • Elena.Angell
    One of my “must listen to” podcasts
    I do really like this podcast. I think the host does a great job of presenting material that can be “dry” in a way that is very engaging. It’s a great podcast for the sustainability and CSR professionals, investors and a broader audience as well.
  • alec big bird
    Greatness!

    I’ve lost myself in this podcast often and then found myself again at the end of the episode.
  • GILLMOLL
    Excellent!
    A stunning look at how ESG principles intersect with everyday news.
  • Droste23
    Finally
    As an ESG analyst on a stewardship and corporate governance team, it's great to see you're going to keep this up on a weekly basis. Would love to hear takes on upcoming shareholder proposals at companies throughout proxy season. Thanks!
