It may be hard to imagine that ESG, now a hotly debated topic in American politics, traces its roots back to a former UK tabloid reporter and a 45-minute meeting in a fifth-floor office in Geneva (United Nations).

ESG = environmental, social, and governance What are the 3 pillars of ESG? Use of or dependence on fossil fuels. Use or management of water and other resources. Pollution levels. Term dates from 2004 after global demonstrations ( including anarchists ) shut down the WTO, WEF and turned around the World Bank. A new world economic order FROM BELOW enabled by net communications and coordination. Not so much anti-globalization and anti-free-trade as pro sustainable globalization and pro fair-trade. As for that useful journalist - we ought to have them stuffed - THEY BELONG IN A MUSEUM.
