ESG metrics and social equity: Investigating commensurability
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
The paper finds significant divergence in the elements assessed across four major ESG databases, with only four elements common to all. Despite this, ESG investments show promise for stable and high returns, especially in the long term. Further, the study finds that key elements considered in social equity studies are largely reflected in major ESG metrics.

Scientists found that even though different groups might rate companies on being good differently, investing in these companies can still make a lot of money over time. They also found that these ratings often include how fair companies are to people.

Limitaciones identificadas
Explicación de la calificación
The paper makes a valuable contribution by investigating the commensurability of ESG metrics and their relationship with social equity. The systematic review is comprehensive and the analysis is generally well-executed. However, several limitations, such as the scope of the review, uneven treatment of social equity metrics, and limited discussion of specific case studies, prevent the paper from receiving a higher rating.
