Interview: Opportunities and Challenges of ESG Investing with Laura Starks

What are the considerations regarding environment, social and governance (ESG) investing? How do investors’ financial risk and return considerations (i.e., ESG value) stack up against their nonpecuniary preferences (i.e., ESG values)? Watch our interview with McCombs Business School professor and the Skandia Award 2022 winner, Laura T. Starks.

“Examining the ESG risks allows you to avoid some exposures that in the long-term can hurt you, and this is particularly the case with climate change,” says Laura.

Watch the full interview here.
