    The trend to incorporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters into corporate boardrooms and capital markets is pervasive. Nevertheless, considerable uncertainty exists over what ESG is, how it should be implemented, and its financial and nonfinancial impacts on corporate outcomes and fund performance. In this Closer Look, we explore seven commonly accepted myths surrounding ESG, many of which are not supported by empirical evidence.We ask: • What is ESG expected to solve: short-termism by corporate managers or a deeper problem of corporations profiting at the expense of stakeholders?• Does ESG increase corporate value, or does it represent an incremental cost incurred for society?• How much ESG investment is new (incremental) investment, and how much repackaging of existing spending?• Why is governance included as the G in ESG?• Is it possible to develop a reliable measure of ESG quality?• Can standardized ESG reporting be done in an informative and cost-effective manner?

    In the new millennium, the soaring economic growth in Asia and Africa, the increase of world trade, and globalization have boosted the global demand for cocoa. However, world cocoa supply could barely keep up with demand. These processes triggered a high volatility in global cocoa prices. Volatility induces uncertainty among market participants, hence preventing the market from working properly. It also makes the millions of cocoa farmers in the developing world highly vulnerable to poverty. Our first essay helps to inform development policies of the elements involved in the global cocoa be...

    Shareholder say-on-pay votes allow institutional investors to influence the incentives of managers and, consequently, corporate behaviour. Surprisingly, the preferences of investors on executive compensation have been largely overlooked in the ongoing debates on sustainable corporate behaviour. Institutional investors can either entrench the primacy of shareholder interests by demanding companies to link executive pay stronger to metrics associated with shareholder wealth maximisation or promote a more sustainable governance model by encouraging rewarding executives for reducing the company’s negative footprint on its key stakeholders. The analysis of investor disclosed explanations of say-on-pay votes in the FTSE 100 companies during 2013-2021 shows that institutional investors rely repeatedly on several dominant themes and that shareholder interests remain the core focus of say-on-pay votes. Additionally, most investors can be grouped into several clusters formed around the voting recommendations of proxy advisors. A group of UK-based institutional investors stands out by taking more individualistic and diverse approach to the stewardship of executive compensation. These findings highlight the role of local investors in the oversight of executive pay, the growing influence of proxy advisors along with the increasing share of foreign institutional investors, and the influence of best practice governance codes in driving investor stewardship preferences
