Sustainability belongs in the portfolio

Not long ago, sustainability lived in a separate report written by a separate team. That’s changing. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and sustainability criteria are now built into portfolio decisions, especially in Europe and in infrastructure, where a project’s footprint and its community effects can decide whether it gets approved at all.

If your organization is in the United States, you might be tempted to treat this as someone else’s concern. We’d think twice. Many U.S. companies have European operations, customers, or suppliers, and those relationships bring the expectations with them. Even without that, the questions are good ones to ask of any investment.
