The impacts of crises are never gender-neutral, and COVID-19 is no exception.For the single mother in South Sudan, COVID-19 lockdown measures have paused her small business that brings food to the table.For the domestic worker in Guatemala, the pandemic has meant no job and no unemployment benefits or other protection.For countless women in economies of every size, along with losing income, unpaid care and domestic work burden has exploded.While everyone is facing unprecedented challenges, women are bearing the brunt of the economic and social fallout of COVID-19.Women who are poor and marginalized face an even higher risk of COVID-19 transmission and fatalities, loss of livelihood, and increased violence.

[BST IMPACT] ESG goes towards Human Rights and the Social becomes Concre...

The COVID-19 pandemic and heightened concerns about climate change, racial injustice, and income inequality have injected fresh urgency into the need for more sustainable investing.The pandemic’s devastating effects have laid bare how health and economic crises disproportionately affect families living in poverty, no matter where they live around the globe.

It showed how not having universal health care, paid sick leave, equal access to social security (or access at all), having societies in which people are marginalized and without safety nets w...

[Wolters Kluwer] The ‘S’ in ESG and Social Factors Become More Impor...

In the United States, at least, the year 2020 was not only the year of the Pandemic, but also a cry for more equality, racial and gender justice, and in general, more respect for one another. Many experts say that COVID-19 exasperated these issues by bringing much of the disparity to the fore because so many were out of work for so long. What takes place on the political and social front, is naturally reflected in the workplace. This is seen in many of the topics covered by the State of Green Business 2021 report by Joel Makower and the editors at GreenBiz Manjit Jus, in his article, “The ‘S’ in ESG Gains Currency,” writes “Companies are making progress in disclosing their environmental impact and governance standards, but social factors have not bee...

[Bloomberg Law] Why Is the ESG Focus on Private Companies, Not the Gover...

The growing ESG movement is due to the confluence of the private interests of management with a loss of confidence in the government to address, much less to solve, top environmental and social problems of the day, says Yale Law School Professor Jonathan Macey. This has played conveniently into the hands of corporate managers who wish to avoid accountability.Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles have emerged to dominate the corporate governance and investing landscape. The rise of ESG investing threatens to displace the longstanding paradigm in corporate law that the purpose of the corporation is to maximize value for shareholders.ESG investing ignores the role of government in solving problems and inserts the corporation as the primary source of solutions to the great iss...
