The Mekong Club and the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) (as an observer participant) have together produced a white paper emphasising the importance of the social dimension of ESG investment criteria for investors and addressing some of these challenges Titled ‘Amplifying the “S” in ESG: Investor Myth Buster’, the white paper aims to debunk five common myths related to the “S” in ESG and provides practical calls to action on how to strengthen social metrics in investment management. Convened by the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the working group behind the white paper aims to promote greater understanding around social themes as the focus on sustainable finance grows. Following the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements and in the wake of COVID-19, the desire to ‘build back better’ and address inequality has highlighted the importance of measuring a company’s direct impact on the human rights of its communities and individuals.
