That is the view of ESG expert Desiree Fixler, who oversee the sustainability efforts at DWS before being ousted and ultimately outlining what she saw as misaligned or misguided industry standards around sustainable investing.

In this special episode, Desiree, who now works for non-profit group VentureESG, casts a critical eye over the world of ESG investing and looks at the most common mistakes investors and companies alike are falling into.
