Yaron Interviewed: ESG Regulations with Onno Delange, The Pension Talk Show

ESG stands for assessing risks that have to do with the Environment, Social behavior and Governance when deciding whether to invest in a company. In this sit down, Yaron Brook and host Onno Delange delve into ESG Regulations and look at:
-- Isn't this morally good, and helping pension funds to make prudent investments?
-- Where does the ESG movement come from, is there scientific, objective research that lead to the creation of ESG legislation?
-- Are there systemic risks to ESG for the economy?
-- Which arguments could a pension fund use to form policy that complies to the legislation, but disregards ESG as a leading factor for its investment policy?
-- Can you still invest in oil companies even though the ESG movement will say that oil companies are not beneficial to the environment?
-- Often you hear that corporations shouldn't look at profits only, that this creates a short term view and that ESG legislation helps investors to make sure corporations take the long view. Is this true?

Recorded on March 14, 2022 for the Pension Talk Show, a Franklin Templton / Instituut voor Pensioeneducatie (IVP) production.
