I remember digging into metrics to complement #GDP when I was writing the last book. This still resonates. "Happy people, happy economy? Moving beyond GDP in measuring economic success." #ESG cc

A lot of people get their knickers in a twist about #greenwashing but just remember... #ESG

ChatGPT is already raising new concerns that can be addressed but needs careful thought and transparency to solve. An #ESG mindset and thinking about #AI risks can help. Check out what that means over here👇 linkedin.com/posts/matthews

Fascinating short chat on ChatGPT. Thinking through considerations like this is ESG. For example, if AI writes a CEO speech or pulls metrics together to tell a story, who is liable when it goes wrong? All technology has risk that you must understand before using.

The WEF Global Risk Report 2023 popped up a few times this past week, so I decided to unpack The Path to 2025 section through the lens of #ESG. There's a lot here for companies, but the interconnected nature of risk and the polycrisis stand out. esgadvocate.substack.com/p/interconnect
