We’ve talked on previous episodes of Dry Powder about the quiet yet rapid rise of ESG investing, but the public conversation around ESG has shifted in the last few months.

“The debate about sustainability and ESG is indeed quite energetic right now,” says Debra McCoy, a partner in Bain’s San Francisco office and our global lead for capital markets, sustainability, and ESG. “But it’s important that we have this debate, because there haven’t been venues to talk about this.”

Today on the show, Debra and I discuss why the conversation has been heating up and how it could shed light on the future of ESG investing.
