This time around, however, one issue that has historically fallen off the public
agenda during downturns is proving to be one of the most urgent and enduring:
the environment.

Furthermore, for investors these days, a corporation's environmental record is
no longer merely an issue for those with a bent for ethical or social investing,
it has become one of the most critical long-term tools for assessing potential
risks and rewards in any market. That's something that's been reinforced by both
regulation and by a growing demand for demonstrable evidence of transparency,
social responsibility and accountability to a growing list of stakeholders.

*read that last line again: "growing demand for demonstrable evidence of
transparency, social responsibility and accountability".

Sound familiar?
