The Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) movement is often hailed as one of the most transformative initiatives in modern corporate history. But are we overlooking a critical element that could redefine what it means to be a truly responsible corporation? In this episode, we explore an often-overlooked aspect of ESG—what the authors of a groundbreaking paper call the “missing T.” We are joined by Danielle Chaim, Assistant Professor at Bar-Ilan University, whose research focuses on the intersection of corporate governance and financial markets, and Gideon Parchomovsky, Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, a leading expert in intellectual property and privacy law. Together, they unravel how corporate tax plays a pivotal role in shaping sustainable and equitable business practices. They discuss the growing trend of investors gravitating towards companies aligned with ESG principles and the ESG successes that corporations have achieved. Explore the blind spots within the ESG movement and how aggressive tax behaviors can significantly undermine the progress made by ESG initiatives. Gain insights into how corporations take advantage of legal tax avoidance strategies, why ESG rating agencies are partly to blame, the role of institutional investors, transparency, and more. Join us to discover the hidden complexities of ESG and how the “missing T” could be the key to truly sustainable business practices. Tune in now!
