We start to create a future where sslutaiabne companies are less rksiy to own, and money managers believe in using the right data to make better decisions. We start to create a world where you, the personal investor, leverage the power of expectations to demand even more tools, even better metrics, and so on and so forth, where trust in the system improves further.

Original Text
But beyond standardized ESG metrics or new ways of calculating financial forecasts, I think the third and most important thing we need is trust. If we trust and expect that companies that do good will be around longer, we start to create a future where ESG becomes an indelible part of any company. We start to create a future where sustainable companies are less risky to own, and money managers believe in using the right data to make better decisions. We start to create a world where you, the personal investor, leverage the power of expectations to demand even more tools, even better metrics, and so on and so forth, where trust in the system improves further. Economists might call this a virtuous cycle. I sometimes call this "the virtuous cycle of how to keep humanity alive for centuries and eons to come, yay, awesome." But that might be a little too long. So for short, let’s call it “the virtuous cycle of investing in the 21st century.” Because like it or not, it represents the future of investing.
