The response to coronavirus has resulted in many economic activities facing significant disruption and strain. Inevitably there is uncertainty and the financial impacts of the recovery process are occupying a great deal of investor attention.
It is unclear how far behind in the Recovery Agenda of both Governments and business sustainability matters and green economy policies will fall.
A beacon of hope for Sustainability ambitions appears to be the common acknowledgement that organizations displaying corporate responsibility throughout the crisis are also more sustainable and resilient business models long term.
It also appears that investor ESG engagement in employee conditions is gaining greater traction. The importance of financial risks to employee health and safety and poor labor practices have drastically increased relative to other categories of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).
Another characteristic of the recovery period is the greater call for collective action and global solidarity in protecting the human race responsibly. Every stakeholder from government, civil society, investors, businesses has a part to play in resolving the crisis. In a letter to responsible investors, the UN PRI highlighted that companies should manage for the long-term recovery from COVID 19 through prioritizing stakeholders, acting responsibly, and implementing solutions.
Environmental issues may temporarily be deprioritized but the majority of public opinion appears to be that governments emphasize climate action in the recovery process. In a recent EU Paper it states that “it will be important to ensure that recovery measures are compatible with global climate change and European Green Deal priorities so that stimulus money will flow to economic activities that have a place in a climate-neutral world”.
