As economic, social, and governance (ESG) issues become more prominent, investors are beginning to take action and prioritize ESG activities. According to the results of a survey conducted in 2021, 58 percent of investors stated they actively seek to enter into dialogue with a company when there is insufficient action towards an ESG-related issue. Less than one-third of investors voted for executive pay to be linked to ESG targets.
