“ESG isn't about politics—it's about good business acumen.”
Jody Mousseau VP of Sustainability Development, Aquent
Despite the political headwinds, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies remain a smart business strategy. That’s the argument made by Aquent’s VP of Sustainability Development, Jody Mousseau, in an opinion article she wrote for ESG Dive. The piece notes that companies with strong ESG frameworks benefit from improved risk management, operational efficiency, and investor appeal, with studies showing they outperform competitors in growth and cost savings. In addition, consumer demand for sustainability continues to rise, with younger generations prioritizing responsible brands and investors increasingly incorporating ESG metrics into decision-making. Mousseau highlights how even traditionally conservative states like Texas and Iowa have embraced clean energy for its economic advantages. She emphasizes that ESG isn't about politics; it’s about long-term resilience, profitability, and staying ahead of regulatory shifts in an evolving global market.
