This year, our research centers on what policymakers want to see from companies on Environment, Social and Governance (ESG), and how perceptions of ESG differ internationally. In our conversations with German policymakers, one issue that surfaced and is key to understanding ESG in the German context is the economic and social-cultural importance of the German Mittelstand. In this first piece on ESG, we examine the importance of the Mittelstand and the need to address succession challenges.
