'ESG will be reframed' - Edelman and SEC Newgate experts

What’s ahead for ESG in the Trump era, and beyond? That’s the topic of PRWeek UK’s latest Beyond the Noise podcast.

Joining UK editor John Harrington this week is Mo Hussein, president, UK public and government affairs, at Edelman; and Andrew Adie, MD, strategy and corporate communications and head of purpose and sustainability, at SEC Newgate.

Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform.

Starting with the ‘E’ of ESG, the episode asks how seriously companies are really scaling back their environmental and sustainability commitments in the Trump presidency, how they are communicating it, and whether it’s a genuine global shift.

For the ‘S’, the guests discuss communicating diversity, equity and inclusion policies, given Trump’s high-profile distain for DEI. They discuss communications around the DEI rollback and the phenomenon of ‘DEI-hushing’.

Hussein and Adie give their views on the investment community’s move away from ESG in recent years and put forward their predictions for ESG generally.

Separately, the duo offer comms advice for firms affected by Trump’s round of import tariffs.
