Chapter Chapter 41 in Investor Relations and ESG Reporting in a Regulatory Perspective, 2022, pp 321-326 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Stakeholders, the investment community, policymakers and companies are increasingly looking at ESG factors to compliment the profit-driven motive, which we explore in this chapter. The criticism of capitalism and the profit-driven agenda is not new. We do not enter a political and sociological debate on the development of economics. It is noted that capitalism’s fundamental and useful critique has been championed by Karl Marx, David Ricardo and more recently, Thomas Piketty. Yet, capitalism and the financial markets have been tremendously adaptive and flexible to societal and technological advances for the past century. In this chapter, we discuss the beyond-GDP debate and the megatrends that companies should consider when embracing the next decade of sustainability requirements.
