Report: Insights from Brazilian Firms: Is ESG Making the Job Market More Polarized?
Recent debates over corporate social responsibility reveal deepening divides in how companies engage with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Public discourse around corporate responsibility has intensified, with the U.S. emerging as a focal point following the 2024 presidential election. Several large firms have publicly reduced their ESG commitments; for example, Google recently eliminated its hiring goals for historically underrepresented groups and signaled a reassessment of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Conversely, other major corporations, such as Costco and Microsoft, among others, have reaffirmed their ESG commitments. These divergent strategies highlight the increasingly polarized landscape of corporate social responsibility, where strategic engagement with ESG practices plays a growing role in defining corporate identity.
