In May, Environmental Finance welcomed 140 attendees to its third annual Sustainability Data America conference in New York.
The ESG backlash, which has its epicentre in the US, coupled with the government pulling out of the US Paris climate agreement has made many firms reluctant to talk about their sustainability-related efforts.
But despite the bleak backdrop, the event highlighted that many companies and investors continue to see ESG data as relevant and material to their operations.
The conference, which was held under Chatham House rules to encourage frank discussion, heard strong arguments for ESG investing.
