The truth is many people think celebrities are generally overrated. They may get sucked into the content on their social feeds, enjoy seeing Tom Cruise fly a jet, and likely even indulge in a tequila shot or two from ER’s oldest heartthrob.

Although it seems ESG’s rise to the top of the news agenda was swift, focus on its fundamental elements – Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance – are nothing new.
