Reviews

At a time when 'woke capitalism' and the ESG construct are under attack, Vasuki Shastry gives his readers a comprehensive, yet easy to follow overview of the ESG landscape as a predicate to calling out the urgent need for the business community to play its part in combatting the climate crisis and furthering social justice objectives. By addressing head-on both the challenges and the imperatives of addressing the challenges, Shastry, with the benefit of his insider’s perspective, provides a much needed and valuable roadmap for business leaders and their advisers to navigate the ESG landscape. -- Mark Bergman, Founder, 7Pillars Global Insights LLC and former Head, Global Securities and Capital Markets Group, Paul Weiss Vasuki Shastry has achieved the impossible: his book makes a serious topic both accessible and entertaining. It’s a reminder to us all that we have to stop paying lip-service to ESG – the planet’s survival depends on it. Every Chief Executive should be forced to read this and forced to question their approach. -- Jonathan Charles, Communications Strategist, Broadcaster, and former Executive Committee Member of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)


Author Information

Vasuki Shastry is a former Associate Fellow in the Asia Pacific program at Chatham House. He spent several years at the coal face itself – running ESG for a major international bank in the City of London – and argues that corporate cultures are too focused on the profit motive and quarterly business targets. Change can only really come through a paradigm shift for business which aligns business with social purpose. Getting there will require a corporate revolution which will disrupt and dislodge the ancien régime and usher in a new age of sustainable business. The author offers a solution in the form of a Climate Manifesto for Business that will Make Our Planet Great Again!
