Is ESG dead...or just evolving? - Oxford Tea Talks
In this Oxford Tea Talk, Professors Juliane Reinecke and Mary Johnstone-Louis dive deep into the evolving landscape of ESG, sustainability, and corporate responsibility in 2025. From ESG “backlash” to systems thinking, regenerative business models, and pre-competitive collaboration, they explore how companies can move beyond risk management to real, long-term value creation.
Key themes:
- Why ESG isn’t “dead” — and what’s next
- Reframing sustainability as opportunity, not obligation
- Systems thinking and collaboration in global supply chains
- Regeneration and the mindset shift for future-fit businesses
- The critical role of business schools in accelerating change
