The Value Perspective: ESG Mini Series with Erik Kobayashi-Solomon

In honour of COP26 this month, welcome to our mini series where we‘re exploring ESG or environmental, social, and governance factors within the industry. In this series, which we‘re releasing every Thursday during the conference, we‘re interviewing old and new guests on their approach to ESG within the industry. We‘ve sought to speak to a wide range of guests with a variety of perspectives on this well-known topic.  To begin, we‘re thrilled to have Erik Kobayashi-Solomon back on the pod. Erik penned an article called ‘Science doesn‘t care what trading desks are saying‘ which caught our eye. From there, we discussed how trading desks motivations could be aligned with climate change issues, how investors can put a sustainability lens on industries outside of oil and gas, and what changes to an investor‘s framework can be made when thinking about the future.
