ESG Review’s 100th Weekly Update!

1 minute(s) Read

100 weeks ago, we published our first weekly update for ESGreview.net. A little over two years later, we’re celebrating the growth of our magazine, subscribers, web viewers, more than 3000 Instagram followers, and our community at large.

At the same time, we recognize we have a long way to go. The energy shortage in Europe has reminded the developed world that emissions reductions mean nothing without energy security and availability. Coal and oil are seen as reliable and easily accessible with today’s infrastructure, charting an uphill battle for alternative fuels and low-carbon industries.

To overcome this challenge, we must work together to foster sustainable decarbonization that is realistic and practical. The good news is that many forward-thinking industries are experiencing accelerated growth. Let’s look at the strides that have been made since ESG Review launched in 2020. The data may surprise you!
