Reuters published an analysis on how 2021 became the year of ESG investing, looking into the growing trend of social activism within investing. The article details last year’s surge in activist investing, featuring thoughts from Morrow Sodali’s Tom Skulski, Managing Director - Proxy.

Tom speaks to the record-high $649 billion allocated to ESG goals and initiatives as climate fears and moments of social unrest grow.
