NYU Stern Professor Alison Taylor: Higher Ground - How Business Can Do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World

In this new ESG Quick Takes episode, host Isabel Verkes speaks to NYU Stern Professor Alison Taylor, author of the new book ‘Higher Ground: How Business Can Do the Right Thing in a Turbulent World’.

Discussing the themes of the book, Professor Taylor argues that amid stakeholder demands and transparency pressures, we can no longer treat ethics as a legal and reputational defence mechanism.

Offering vivid stories and examples, Professor Taylor brings this complex, risky environment alive to provide a blueprint for how leaders should rethink and reshape their practices. How can CEOs cut through the noise to set robust environmental and social priorities? When should they speak out on contentious social and political issues - and how? What does it really take to build a healthy organisational culture? And how are we to approach corporate values when society is so divided?

Tune in to as Professor Taylor explains how business can navigate this paradigm shift, build trust, and achieve long-term strategic advantage in a turbulent world.
