“Overall, I appreciate this podcast and find discussions I don’t hear in other places. It’s sometimes a bit too wonky, but that’s ok. I couldn’t find a place to comment, rather than review, so this is really a comment on the episode about ESG and Exxon. The podcast topic was great, but the perspective was limited. They couldn’t think of a societal issue other than climate change that had an economic connection - really? How about gender and ethnic diversity, both on the Boards and in leadership positions? How about transparency and financial integrity? The discussion devolved into which companies or industries are disliked, but really there’s more to it. By excluding a broad segment of society, companies lose out on innovation and resilience. Diversity has an economic payoff. Similarly, having strong compliance practices and a culture of openness and integrity allows companies to avoid corruption and illegalities, which of course negatively impact both reputation and performance.”
