Are CEOs really overpaid
Do ESG Targets work
Are stock markets too short-termist
Is climate change truly a ‘shareholder value’ concern
Do we need to get business out of politics – or the opposite
‘…So what’s absolutely clear is that individuals can’t solve this by themselves. And I think it’s wrong to entirely put the emphasis on individuals. And that is part of the reason why I haven’t taken an excessively harsh approach to this…But on the other hand, I think the idea that Governments have got to solve this, say, let’s just wait for governments to act is kind of for the birds as well. That’s not how politics works…’
