In a recent article and Harvard Law School Forum opinion piece, Aisha Saad “advances a paradigm for governing corporate ESG [Environmental Social Governance] that accounts for the principal-agent challenges undermining prevailing proposals.”
She writes that “ESG (Environmental Social Governance) is in the crosshairs of a conservative campaign against “woke capitalism”. This is evidenced by an aggressive legislative agenda featuring 181 anti-ESG bills proposed or enacted between 2018 and 2023. Attacks on the legitimacy and practical possibility of ESG are starting to bear fruit.”
Saad argues “that a “corporate technocracy” provides a solution for redeeming the possibilities of ESG by addressing and overcoming key governance critiques.”
