The @NYUSternBHR report points out that even when investors consider the 'S' in ESG, low-wage workers are often left out of the conversation. marketwatch.com/story/how-th…
Excited to share my new research on how to improve the S in ESG. Too many low-wage workers currently fall outside of ESG assessments. The pandemic has shown how critical it is to address this gap.
New research from our Center: @caseyeoconnor published a report today on how #ESG investing can help improve the quality of low-wage work. Read it here: bhr.stern.nyu.edu/making-esg…

It has never been more important to look critically and creatively at the S in ESG.
The economic fallout of COVID-19 highlights the need for ESG investing. But seizing this opportunity will require much smarter social metrics focused on low-wage work.

Kudos to the Business Roundtable for this important step, but @dgelles is right to give the last word to @AnandWrites; success will require accountability. "Corporate magnanimity and voluntary virtue are not going to solve these problems.” nyti.ms/2NqGE7N
Interesting research from Michigan Ross finding that employees were most successful in driving change within their organizations when they framed issues as part of the organization’s values and mission rather than making an economic case

#ESG investing is gaining momentum, but meaningful data on the "S" is still lacking. We are working to close this gap. See our first set of draft indicators for the apparel sector here: bhr.stern.nyu.edu/blogs/2018…
