Sustainability Issues Have Short-Term Effect On Stock Performance, Deloitte Report Finds

摘要

A company's performance on sustainability issues may have a short-term impact on company stock market performance, but there is less evidence that strong sustainability performance leads to higher stock returns over the long term, according to a new report by Deloitte. Short-term events, such as violations of environmental laws, boycotts, or other events that may receive media coverage, can have a negative impact on stock returns, according to the report, Finding the Value in Environmental, Social, and Governance Performance.
