2021 proxy season marked "new era" of shareholder support for ESG issues

The 2021 proxy season brought a new level of shareholder support for key ESG-related themes ranging from climate change to diversity disclosures.

In this episode of ESG Insider, we talk to Sustainable Investments Institute founding executive director Heidi Welsh.

"We've entered a whole new era" of shareholder support for ESG issues, Heidi tells us.

"Investors want more information on climate change, on diversity and inclusion, on corporate political influence," she says.
