Yesterday I was on an awesome panel with colleagues from JP Morgan and Kimberly Clark to discuss ESG in the context of the #NorthAmericanWay. We are all gathered here in Mexico City for the US Mexico Foundation’s Inaugural North Capital Forum. For many, the concept of ESG is mind numbing, and in my experience C-suite executives and board members can often tense up when discussing the issues surrounding ESG because it is quite involved. My goal on the panel was to simplify the ESG concepts and process for the audience.

This past weekend I picked up a copy of Fast Company’s November edition, the cover of the magazine lured me in: “Capitalism is Dead. Long Live Capitalism.” Those two statements summed up both the anxiety that I’ve been experiencing over the societal and political backlash to the capitalist model and the optimism that I feel for capitalism ultimately prevailing, but in a different, more moral and ethical, way.
