"We have definitive research and proof that those that apply ESG, and I'm speaking of it broadly right now, are less volatile. Their earnings are more predictable."

"And you sort of think of ESG as in two buckets at least. I do the environmental transition and then inclusive development. The S and the G are sort of the inclusive development part and on the E part, that's actually become a productive and profitable business."

"We know that both treasury and the SEC have now set up or setting up departments on environment, on climate, and I think if we can work in tandem with them, that would be very good. I honestly think businesses have been ahead in the past four years where this wasn't a priority of the former administration (Trump)."

"We and others had made a commitment to the Paris climate agreement in 2015 and we stayed the course. So we saw real momentum in those four years despite the fact that the administration wasn't focused on that."
