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 of BU’s Questrom School of Business 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.
