London Business School’s Dr Ioannis Ioannou has recorded a conversation with Isabel Verkes, Head of Climate, ESG Book.

In ‘Why there is no such thing as a sustainable company (it’s complicated …)’ the two talked about the evolution of the corporate sustainability movement, the recent ESG backlash and culture wars, and the purpose of the modern-day company. Additionally, they examined the critical link between global climate policies and the business landscape, and how the business community finds itself at a crossroads, increasingly challenged by investor expectations, and consumer preferences.
