Increasing Importance of ESG for Growing Companies - with Amanda Hsieh

I recently sat down with Amanda Hsieh, COO of Global Affairs Associates, which helps companies make strategic, business-appropriate decisions regarding sustainability and ESG – topics that are of increasing importance to companies of every size.

We chatted about the evolving meaning of ESG, the various levels to which it can be taken – from "dipping your toe in the water" to "in the deep end", and how early and growth-stage businesses can impress investors with focused ESG strategies.

In this conversation, Amanda and I talk about:

• Where does ESG start? At the top?
• What should a new company getting started think about when it comes to ESG?
• How to think about balancing between the E, the S, and the G
• How ESG is influencing investor decision-making
• Governance horror stories and success cases
