MRP 172: Unintended Consequences of the ESG Movement

The Mineral Rights Podcast: Mineral Rights | Royalties | Oil and Gas | Matt Sands

The principles of the Environmental, Social, and Governance movement would seem to be moving the world in the right direction. Who wouldn't want a cleaner environment, fair treatment of workers, and elimination of corporate bribery and corruption. Under the guise of advancing "responsible corporate citizenship", the ESG movement has instead turned into a means for forcing an underinvestment in fossil fuel energy and we are now paying the price for this.

In this episode, Justin and I talk about the origin and history of the ESG movement and some of the unintended consequences of this seemingly "good" initiative. As always, links to the resources found in this episode can be found at mineralrightspodcast.com.
