Social-Impact Efforts That Create Real Value
How can organizations create real value and impact from their ESG efforts? Too many companies have embraced a "box-ticking" culture and fail to see any value from their ESG efforts. I describe a five-pronged approach for companies to better manage and govern resources allocated to ESG issues. 1) Think ESG as competitive advantage 2) Create accountability for ESG throughout the organisation 3) Identify a corporate purpose and build a culture around it 4) Give ESG responsibilities to core business leaders 5) Use impact weighted accounting metrics for better decision making and to attract aligned investors
Performance, Purpose, and ESG Issues
Professor George Serafeim explores performance, purpose, and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) issues and how they can meet the challenges of growing income inequality and environmental damage in his Kim B Clark Fellowship Talk, while visiting Oxford University.
The Impact Weighted Accounts Project
To reshape capitalism towards a more inclusive and sustainable system we need to reshape accounting. Professor Serafeim leads the Impact Weighted Accounts Project that revolutionizes measurement of corporate performance. For research on product, employment and environmental impact please see
here. You can find an
open access dataset of corporate environmental impact for ~13,000 firm-year observations.
The coronavirus pandemic caused a sharp market decline while raising heterogeneous responses across companies related to their employees, supply chain and, repurposing of operations to provide needed products and services. How did companies' stock market performance was affected by these responses?
What can be done to address problems with ESG data?
As the ESG field and the use of ESG data in investment decision‐making continue to grow we shed light on several important aspects of ESG measurement and data.
Applying these learnings we design a new human capital development metric that is outcome based.
Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of initiatives seeking to mobilize investor voice towards positive social impact.
This paper, provides a framework outlining the role of investors as stewards of the commons.
What is corporate purpose? Does it matter for financial performance?
How do you develop one? New research documents that most organizations are struggling to diffuse a sense of purpose throughout the organization. Those that can, enjoy
better financial performance.
How to Scandal-Proof Your Company
For the past 10 years we’ve studied white-collar crime and explored how companies can create an environment that discourages it. We used data from individual companies and from surveys by PwC, Transparency International, the World Bank, executive recruiting firms, and other organizations. All told we looked at data on thousands of organizations and individuals. In addition, we interviewed more than 50 senior and middle managers at 10 organizations that had experienced scandals. And in our research we’ve found time and again that while compliance systems are important, leadership plays a critical role in shaping an organization’s attitudes toward preventing crime and its responses when wrongdoing is detected.
How do we ensure that everyone in society benefits from economic growth? How do we narrow income disparities? If inclusive capitalism at its core means bringing society and business together, what are the strategies to get us there? At the Aspen Ideas Festival, Professor Serafeim provided answers to those questions.
In a Harvard Business Review article Professor Serafeim and co-authors outline a roadmap for companies and investors that seek to create inclusive growth.
How Companies Can Integrate Sustainability to their Core and Why Investors Should
Care
By now most companies have sustainability programs. But a mishmash of sustainability tactics does not add up to a sustainable strategy. Professor's Serafeim reseach has shown the value implications of integrating sustainability in a company's strategy and operations, and what are the distinguishing organizational processes that sustainable organizations have. His work on the financial materiality of sustainability investments was the first one to demonstrate the path to financial value. Relatedly, in his work he has outlined a process that can be used to execute a sustainable strategy and extend the boundaries of The Performance Frontier, and how to implement a strategy to achieve organizational change.
In his line of work on sustainable investing he has documented a market interest in nonfinancial information, how sell-side analysts have shifted their perceptions about the value of sustainability, and how firms with better ESG performance have better access to finance.
