Making ESG Research More Trustworthy

Replications of five of the most important ESG studies have uncovered evidence challenging their methods, logic, or findings. More replications and analyses are ongoing. Professor Andy King will describe his replication of “The Impact of Corporate Sustainability on Organizational Processes and Performance,” by Eccles, Ioannou, and Serafeim. He will also discuss the status of replications of other influential ESG studies. There will be time for discussion about how ESG research can be made more trustworthy.

Andrew King of Boston University’s Questrom School of Business presented this talk at the December 12, 2024, IMAP Lunch Seminar. This video has been edited, and some of the Q&A portions of the live event have been deleted.
